FY27 Human Trafficking Enforcement and Training Grant Program AGF

The FY27 Human Trafficking Enforcement and Training Grant Program is a competitive grant solicitation issued by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The program aims to fund activities such as human trafficking special prosecutors, enforcement and investigative efforts, prevention and intervention services, and awareness training. It emphasizes collaborative partnerships between local partners, the Department of Children and Families, and the Massachusetts State Police High-Risk Victims Unit, requiring all programming to align with the MA Human Trafficking Law Enforcement Guidelines and federal 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Guidance. The tentative performance period is from December 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Applications must be submitted via an online portal by November 13, 2026. Required documentation includes a project narrative, a data-driven needs assessment, a feasible implementation timeline, and a detailed budget submitted specifically in an Excel workbook. Awards are determined through a peer review process scoring the project narrative, needs assessment, budget, and implementation plan. Preference is given to previously funded District Attorneys who can provide evidence of programmatic success. Financial guidelines specify a proposed payroll tax rate of 2.12%, limit overtime to sworn law enforcement personnel, and cap consultant rates at 81.25 per hour or 650 per day unless prior written approval is obtained from the Office of Grants and Research.
