Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2022 171267
The OVC FY 2022 Invited to Apply Colorado - Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) for Crime Victim Compensation and/or Assistance is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is designed to provide supplemental, incident-driven support to victims affected by an act of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism in Colorado when the scale of the event overwhelms the jurisdiction's existing victim service and compensation resources. The award is intended to help a community respond in a timely, comprehensive way without diverting resources away from victims of other crimes who also need services.
This funding is part of OJP's broader priorities around civil rights and racial equity, improved access to justice, stronger community safety, and building trust between law enforcement and the community. Through AEAP, OVC draws on the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve to help eligible entities address urgent and longer-term victim needs that arise after a major incident. A key condition is that the incident must be large enough that existing local or state resources cannot fully meet the needs of victims while maintaining normal levels of support for other crime victims.
AEAP support can cover multiple categories of assistance, and applicants may combine them into a single application depending on what the incident requires. The four allowable grant purpose areas are: (1) crisis response, which focuses on immediate emergency relief and stabilization services; (2) consequence management, which supports longer-term services that help victims adapt to and cope with the aftermath of the event; (3) criminal justice support, which helps victims participate in the investigative and court processes and access victim-centered assistance during those proceedings; and (4) crime victim compensation, which can supplement a state crime victim compensation program that reimburses victims for eligible out-of-pocket expenses tied to the victimization. In practical terms, this structure allows funding to address both the early surge in needs (such as immediate victim support and coordination) and the sustained impacts that can continue well beyond the initial response period.
A notable feature of this opportunity is that AEAP funding is retroactive to the date of the incident. That means costs and needs that began at the time of the event may be eligible as long as they fit AEAP requirements and are properly documented and justified. However, the application must clearly show that requested funds are supplemental rather than replacing resources that are already available. The justification must connect each proposed cost to direct support for victims of the specific incident and demonstrate why existing funding streams or capacity were insufficient to fully address those needs.
OVC also indicates that it may provide no-cost consultant support to assist the prospective grantee with the AEAP application process, which is meant to help jurisdictions develop a strong, compliant request during a time when local systems may already be under strain. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $2,359,337.
Administratively, this is a grant (not a cooperative agreement), categorized under Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA number 16.321. The opportunity was created on April 14, 2022, with an original closing date of April 15, 2022, reflecting that it is an invited-to-apply, incident-specific funding action rather than an open, long-cycle competitive solicitation. The statutory authority for AEAP is 34 U.S.C. 20101(d)(5) and 20105(b), which underpins OVC's ability to use the Emergency Reserve to deliver targeted assistance and compensation support following qualifying mass violence or terrorism-related incidents.Apply for O OVC 2022 171267
