In addition to the Coordinated Tribal Solicitation that is currently open, the Department of Justice recently released a Solicitation for its new Children Exposed to Violence Initiative and tribal governments are eligible to apply for this project as well. A key component of the Initiative is a demonstration project, which will be divided into planning and implementation phases. During the planning phase, the Department will fund up to eight sites to develop comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approaches to address the needs of children (ages 0 – 17 ) exposed to violence. Two of the eight sites will be awarded to tribal communities.
For the implementation phase, the Department will fund up to four sites (one of the four demonstration sites will be a tribal community) for the comprehensive delivery of services. During both phases, the sites will receive technical assistance and training. For those initial sites not selected for the implementation phase, the Department plans to make seed grants available. The solicitation for the planning sites was released on March 31, 2010.
All Tribes are encouraged to apply for this particular grant, in addition to applying for the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation.
The application requires the Tribal applicant to collaborate with, among others, tribal nonprofit organizations or community-based organizations with a documented history of effective work concerning children or youth exposed to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including programs that provide culturally specific services.
The deadline for the Children Exposed to Violence grant is June 1, 2010.
