Synopsis

Under this notice of funding opportunity, OVC will provide funding for shelter and transitional housing and other assistance to victims of domestic violence and their companion animals, which under this program means pets, service animals, emotional support animals, and horses. A majority of domestic violence shelters do not allow pets, and the reasons for this may vary. This grant program will provide funding to enable those shelters that want to expand their programming to house domestic violence victims and their pets.

Who can apply

Any other organization that has a documented history of effective work concerning domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including—a domestic violence and sexual assault victim service provider; a domestic violence and sexual assault coalition; a community-based and culturally specific organization; or any other nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. Any organization that works directly with pets, service animals, emotional support animals, or horses and collaborates with any organization listed above, including—an animal shelter, or an animal welfare organization. Other Units of Local Government: For the purposes of this notice of funding opportunity, other units of local government include towns, boroughs, parishes, villages, or other general purpose political subdivisions of a state.
