AI Contract Overview
The Office for Victims of Crime is offering funding through the Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program for Fiscal Year 2026 to support victims of mass violence and domestic terrorism in Tennessee. This opportunity, identified by solicitation number O-OVC-2026-172668, invites eligible entities to apply for one or more types of grants including crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. Funding is drawn from the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve and is intended for situations where an incident is so large or severe that local resources are overwhelmed and unable to meet the needs of victims in a timely and comprehensive way. The program prioritizes events characterized by unpredictability, indiscriminate targeting, or uniquely broad impact, excluding incidents typically addressed through existing VOCA resources such as gang violence, domestic violence, or community gun violence. Applications must be submitted by the deadline of July 31, 2026, and are open to entities invited to apply by OVC. The program is designed to supplement, not replace, existing victim services and to enhance access to compensation and assistance for those affected by mass criminal violence or terrorism. Support may include direct aid to victims, system-based reforms, and capacity building for local service providers. The Office for Victims of Crime, under the Department of Justice, serves as the administering agency and can be contacted via the provided point of contact for inquiries. The opportunity does not specify geographic restrictions beyond Tennessee, and funding is expected to be awarded to respond to specific events meeting the program’s stringent criteria for federal emergency assistance.

Full Description
AEAP grants are a mechanism by which the Director of OVC may award supplemental crime victim compensation and assistance to eligible entities responding to acts of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism. The event must be sufficiently large that the jurisdiction cannot provide needed services to victims of the incident with existing resources, while also supporting victims of other crimes, in a timely and comprehensive manner. OVC generally accesses AEAP funds only in response to incidents that are sufficiently large in scope for the locale, and typically only where there was an unpredictable, indiscriminate, or broad targeting of victims, or otherwise unique aspect to the crime. In most cases, OVC expects States and communities to plan for and address victim needs stemming from relatively more predictable instances of gang-related violence, domestic violence, and broader community gun violence, from existing VOCA resources.
