OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. In FY 2022, OVC will prioritize applications that document how the proposed project will address the needs of underserved victims, thereby improving access to justice. This program supports activities proposed by the field related to expanding accessibility and increasing service options for victims of crime who are underserved or who are part of an underserved community.
