Services for Trafficking Victims Discretionary Grant Programs

Directions for Requesting Information and Application Kits

Each of the two programs described in Section I. is assigned to an OVC staff person who has carefully researched and developed the solicitation. For specific questions about a particular program, please contact Michelle Avery Weston at 202-514-5084. For general administrative questions regarding application submissions, please call Yvonne Jones at 202-616-3566.

If you or your organization plan to publicize this kit or any of the programs in a publication of your own, such as a journal, periodical, newsletter, on the Internet, or in any other form, please contact the OVC staff person responsible for that program to discuss any necessary modifications to the program announcement required to meet your publication's format. In prior years, incorrect and misleading information published about the goals of OVC's discretionary programs resulted in submissions of grant applications that were unresponsive to the solicitation and could not be considered. OVC wishes to avoid this kind of miscommunication in the future.

To request additional application kits or forms, call the OVC Resource Center at 1-800-627-6872 or the OVC Reply Line at 202-616-1926 (TTY 202-514-7863). In addition, the application kit may be downloaded from OVC's World Wide Web home page.
