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 Tennessee. AEAP grants are intended to supplement existing resources for jurisdictions and organizations responding to incidents of terrorism or criminal mass violence that exceed their capacity to respond with current resources. The program offers support in four areas: crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. Funding is drawn from the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve and is intended to ensure comprehensive, timely, and effective services for victims of large-scale incidents where local resources are insufficient.
