This OVW grant is for providing vital funding to develop and implement outreach strategies and victim services for adult or youth victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking in underserved populations. Survivors from these communities often struggle to access comprehensive, culturally relevant, and responsive services, leading to significant gaps in support. The program specifically addresses these challenges by supporting projects that enhance population-specific victim services and outreach. Funds can be utilized to build capacity for organizations serving these survivors, train community partners on their needs, and create culturally appropriate materials. Notably, legal services are now an eligible use of grant funds, expanding support options for victims.
