Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Administration for Children and Families |
| Description: | Building on the work of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Rescue & Restore Victims of Human Trafficking campaign, which began to establish local anti-trafficking coalitions, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within HHS, seeks to continue and expand its efforts through regional grantees that will serve as focal points for an intensification of local outreach to and identification of victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons. Each successful applicant will be required to maintain a strong coalition designed to meet those goals, and to sub-award at least 60 percent of grant funds received to local organizations that identify and work with victims of human trafficking. A successful applicant must be the planner, fiscal agent, monitor, and technical assistance provider for the sub-awardees. The grant recipient may use no more than 20 percent of the grant award for administration and management of coalition efforts, and retain no more than 40 percent of the grant award. ORR seeks to award one cooperative agreement per geographic area for a period of two years. Applications will be screened and evaluated as indicated in this program announcement. Awards will be contingent on the outcomes of the competition and the availability of funds. The Director of ORR does not intend to award more than one grant per distinct geographic area. The Director of ORR may ensure that grants are awarded for certain high-priority geographic areas. ORR will accept applications from eligible, current grantees and contractors who wish to apply for funding under this announcement, but will not award funding for activities that are duplicative of those currently supported with ORR funds. The anticipated start date for awards is February 15, 2009. |
