    Summary

    The Office of Crime Victims Advocacy (OCVA) serves as a voice within state government for the needs of crime victims in Washington State. OCVA administers state and federal funds for services to assist individuals hurt and harmed by crime.
     
    The purpose of this grant is to fund direct services and outreach provided by organizations with the capacity and expertise to implement a trauma informed service model to address the needs of victims/survivors of trafficking as well as individuals at risk.

    Outreach activities will focus on increasing awareness of services available to victims/survivors and individuals at-risk of labor or sex trafficking. Services will be culturally, linguistically and developmentally appropriate and available to all individuals regardless of immigration status, gender, age, sexual orientation, language, religion or disability.

    The goal of this grant is to;
    • Increase the availability of support and assistance (services) for victims/survivors of labor and sex trafficking.
    • Increase awareness of support and assistance available to individuals and communities at risk of being trafficked (labor and sex).
    • Build capacity of programs and organizations to implement consistent culturally relevant outreach activities aimed at increasing awareness and access to support and assistance.
    Eligible services and activities are defined as those efforts that:
    • Respond to the emotional, psychological, or physical needs of crime victims;
    • Assist victims to stabilize their lives after victimization;
    • Assist victims to understand and participate in the criminal justice system; or
    • Restore a measure of security and safety for the victim
    To ensure effective strategies are focused on and adequate staff time is allocated to address the unique nuances of each type of human trafficking, applicants may only apply to implement activities related to labor OR sex trafficking. Organizations or programs interested in applying to focus on labor and sex trafficking must submit separate proposals.
