Additional Information on Eligibility: HHS funds may not be paid as profit to any recipient even if the recipient is a commercial organization (45 CFR 74.81). Faith-based and community organizations that meet eligibility requirements are eligible to receive awards under this funding opportunity announcement. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
Grant Description: The central purpose of this cooperative agreement is to efficiently fund comprehensive case management services on a per capita basis to foreign victims and potential victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons seeking HHS certification in any location within the United States. Persons qualified for services under this grant (qualified persons) means victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons who have received certification from ORR or, in the case of child victims, letters of eligibility from ORR; potential victims of a severe form of trafficking who are seeking assistance to achieve HHS certification; aliens classified as a non-immigrant under Section 1101 (a)(15)(T)(ii) of title 8 of the U.S. Code; and minor dependent children of victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons or potential victims of trafficking. The Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) intends to accomplish this purpose by awarding a minimum of four cooperative agreements for a project period of 36 months (three years) with three 12-month budget periods. The initial award will be made for the first 12-month budget period. Continuation awards for subsequent budget periods will be subject to the availability of funds, satisfactory progress by the grantee and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the Federal Government. Applicants must clearly define the dollar value of the per capita benefit to be provided to each qualified person served under this opportunity. The awarded organization must provide case management and referrals to qualified persons either directly through its own organization or through sub-award(s) to other organizations. The Director of ORR may give priority consideration to applications that demonstrate three or more years of experience in identifying and assisting both foreign victims of sex and labor trafficking, including the provision of, or management and oversight of, case management services, and providing technical assistance and trainings on human trafficking. The Director of ORR will give priority to those organizations with an established provider network for multiple states or metropolitan areas and capacity to provide case management services in locations with a demonstrated need for services. The Director of ORR will give priority to geographic locations with reported high incidence of human trafficking. The Director of ORR will give strong preference to applicants that are willing to offer all of the services and referrals delineated under the Project Objectives. Applicants that are unwilling to provide the full range of the services and referrals under the Project Objectives must indicate this in their narrative on approach in Section IV.2 (Please see Section IV.2, Content and Form of Application Submission, for additional instructions).
