OVC FY 2026 Housing Assistance for Victims of Human Trafficking
Purpose of the Funding
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the
U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and
uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal
leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement,
combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime
victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid
crisis.
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OVC FY 2026 Housing
Assistance for Victims of Human Trafficking. This opportunity will fund organizations
that provide housing and associated support services to victims of human trafficking as
defined by 22 U.S.C. § 7102(11). The primary focus of this program is to provide rapid
rehousing (i.e., transitional housing and supportive services that assist human trafficking
victims in moving as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieving stability).
