Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2019 15805
The OVW FY 2019 Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to support projects that help victims and survivors move from crisis to longer-term safety and stability by expanding or strengthening transitional housing and related supportive services. The core idea behind this program is that safe housing is often the missing piece that keeps people trapped in abusive situations, and that survivors may need both a stable place to live and practical, wraparound assistance to rebuild their lives after sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking.
This funding opportunity was posted on December 17, 2018, with an original application deadline of February 13, 2019. Awards were made through a grant mechanism, and OVW anticipated making about 70 awards under this solicitation. The maximum amount available per award (the award ceiling) was set at $450,000, indicating that funded projects were expected to be substantial enough to operate housing assistance and services, but not so large that only a few entities could realistically compete. The program is associated with CFDA number 16.736, which is the federal assistance listing commonly used for OVW transitional housing-related funding.
Eligible applicants included a broad range of governmental entities and other qualifying organizations. Specifically, the solicitation allowed applications from state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. In addition, the eligibility category included "Others" with the note to see additional eligibility details in the full solicitation, which typically signals that certain nonprofit organizations, community-based service providers, or other specialized entities may be eligible either directly or through partnerships, depending on the program rules and OVW requirements. In practice, this kind of OVW housing program often emphasizes collaboration between victim service providers and housing partners, because survivor safety planning, confidentiality, and trauma-informed services must be integrated with the housing component.
The overall purpose of this grant program is to provide transitional housing assistance and supportive services that are tailored to the safety needs of survivors. Transitional housing in this context generally refers to longer-term, service-enriched housing options that sit between emergency shelter and permanent housing, helping survivors secure stable housing while addressing barriers that are common after violence, such as financial instability, disrupted employment, damaged credit, legal issues, childcare needs, transportation barriers, and ongoing safety risks from the perpetrator. While the short title highlights transitional housing, OVW programs of this type commonly support a range of housing models and related assistance, as long as the approach helps victims obtain safe housing and connect to appropriate services.
Because the program is administered by OVW, funded projects are typically expected to reflect OVW priorities around victim-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive services. That usually means services that respect survivors choices, prioritize privacy and confidentiality, recognize the impacts of trauma, and respond appropriately to the needs of diverse populations, including underserved communities. Projects funded through this opportunity would generally be expected to coordinate with community partners such as victim advocacy organizations, housing providers, legal services, health and behavioral health providers, and other local systems, so survivors can access comprehensive support rather than being shuffled between disconnected programs.
In short, this OVW FY 2019 grant opportunity provided federal funding to help communities and tribal governments expand or enhance transitional housing and supportive services for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. The solicitation set a ceiling of $450,000 per award, anticipated roughly 70 awards, and was open for applications from December 2018 through mid-February 2019, with eligibility spanning multiple levels of government and potentially other qualifying organizations as described in the full eligibility guidance.Apply for OVW 2019 15805
