Description
This funding opportunity is designed to provide supplemental support for jurisdictions responding to large-scale incidents of mass violence or domestic terrorism. The program, administered by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), aims to ensure that victims receive timely and comprehensive services when local resources are insufficient due to the scale or nature of the event. Funding comes from the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve and can cover crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. The program is not intended for more predictable or localized violence, which should be addressed with existing resources.
