OVC FY 2026 Housing Assistance for Victims of Human Trafficking

Office for Victims of Crime · O-OVC-2026-172692 · Deadline: September 28, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $1.2M

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 16.320, Services for Trafficking Victims), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $750k against a $1.2M ceiling (62%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 174 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
