Description
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, OVC seeks to provide funding for shelter and transitional housing and other assistance to victims of domestic violence and their companion animals, which under this program means pets, service animals, emotional support animals, and horses. 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. The term ‘‘service animal’’ has the meaning given the term in 28 C.F.R. section 36.104 (or a successor regulation). OTHER TERMS. Except as otherwise provided, terms have the meaning given such terms in section 40002 (a) of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (34 U.S.C. 12291(a)). Note: Small Awards under this category are designed for shelters and other transitional housing services for victims of domestic violence and their companion animals that may be seeking funding only for smaller purchases such as kennels, cages, crates, pet supplies, beds, and other items that may be necessary for housing domestic violence victims and pets together.
