This program will support three purpose areas: Purpose Area 1: Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) to support up to 23 existing and future potential grantees in meeting their grant objectives; Purpose Area 2: Large Awards up to $400,000; and Purpose Area 3: Small Awards up to $100,000.The term "domestic violence victim" means a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, as established in Public Law 115-334. The following definitions, set out in 34 U.S.C. 20127(9), apply to this solicitation: EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL. The term ‘‘emotional support animal'' means an animal that is covered by the exclusion specified in 24 C.F.R. section 5.303 (or a successor regulation), and that is not a service animal. PET. The term ‘‘pet'' means a domesticated animal, such as a dog, cat, bird, rodent, fish, turtle, or other animal that is kept for pleasure rather than for commercial purposes. SERVICE ANIMAL.
