OVC FY 2022 Advancing the Use of Technology to Assist Victims of Crime: OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. Through this solicitation, OVC seeks to provide funding to organizations that demonstrate innovative strategies to create, expand, or enhance the use of technology to interact directly with crime victims, improve the quality of services, and improve the accessibility and responsiveness of victim service organizations. Note: This solicitation has funded national hotlines in the past; however, in fiscal year (FY) 2022, OVC created a separate solicitation titled "Building Capacity of National Crisis Hotlines" that focuses solely on enhancing or expanding the capacity of national hotlines.
