Domestic Trafficking Victim Program

 

Under the Domestic Trafficking Victim Program, OVC has established the Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking Program. The overarching goal of this program is to improve outcomes for children and youth who are victims of human trafficking by integrating human trafficking policy and programming at the state or tribal level and by enhancing a coordinated, multidisciplinary, and jurisdiction-wide approach to human trafficking. Under this Program, OJJDP has established the Childrens Advocacy Center Subgrant Program for Victims of Child Pornography under the Victims of Child Abuse Support for Childrens Advocacy Centers (CAC) Program. The goal of this program is to support local CACs, state chapters, and multidisciplinary teams (mdts) that provide a coordinated investigation and comprehensive response to child abuse, specifically to provide services and improve the response to children who are victims of child pornography, including those victims of child pornography who are also victims of sex trafficking. Successful applicants funded through the Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking solicitation will engage in the following general activities in order to meet program goals and objectives: Develop and implement a jurisdiction-wide strategy to combat the identified greatest challenge areas in child and youth trafficking within the state or tribe; this strategy must be finalized and approved or enacted within the first year of the program start date. This strategy will also include developing a systematic method to screen for victimization across entities; developing protocols and procedures to ensure child and youth victims receive appropriate services; delivering staff training to implement and sustain the strategy jurisdiction-wide; and strengthening data collection across multiple systems of care. Develop, enhance, and coordinate programs and activities geared toward improving outcomes for child and youth victims of sex and labor trafficking. States or tribes should establish a program coordinator role to oversee program implementation and ensure coordination of anti-trafficking efforts in the state or tribal jurisdiction. Successful applicants funded through the Childrens Advocacy Center Subgrant Program for Victims of Child Pornography will:Release RFP(s) to award subgrants based on funding strategy that includes identified national needs. Provide training and technical assistance specific to the RFP as well as limited subject matter training for CACs and mdts.
