Description
This opportunity, administered by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), provides funding through the Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) to support victims of mass violence and terrorism in Wisconsin. The program delivers supplemental support for victim compensation and assistance when a jurisdiction is unable to meet victim needs with existing resources. AEAP grants may be used for crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and direct victim compensation. Funding is reserved for incidents that are unpredictable, indiscriminate, or broad in scope, and where local capacity is insufficient to address the needs of affected victims.
