In FY 2003, OVC made its first awards to various nongovernmental organizations for the purpose of providing trafficking victims with comprehensive or specialized services during the precertification phase, and for the purpose of providing grantees with training and technical assistance for program support and enhancement.

OVC funds help victim service providers meet the challenge of addressing the complex and acute service needs of trafficking victims through the provision of—

Comprehensive services: Direct services mobilized by the grantee organization to meet the range of needs of trafficking victims. Comprehensive services include addressing the victim's basic needs for shelter, food, and clothing as well as case management, information and referral, legal assistance and advocacy, medical and dental services, mental health assessment and treatment, job skills training, transportation, and interpretation services.

Supplemental/specialized services: Direct services quickly mobilized, over a broad geographic area, in order to provide a single service such as housing, legal assistance, or medical care.
