| OVERVIEW | The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is a component of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Created in 1995, OVW implements VAWA and subsequent legislation as well as provides national leadership on issues of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and/or stalking. Since its inception, OVW has supported a multifaceted approach to crime response through implementation of grant programs authorized by VAWA. By forging state, local, and tribal partnerships among police, prosecutors, judges, victim advocates, health care providers, faith leaders, organizations that serve culturally specific and underserved communities, and others, OVW grants help provide victims with the protection and services they need to pursue safe and healthy lives while improving communities’ capacity to hold offenders accountable for their crimes. By statute, the S.T.O.P. Formula Grant Program supports communities in their efforts to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent crimes against women and to develop and strengthen victim services in cases involving violent crimes against women. |
| ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS | Applicants are limited to agencies within the State of Georgia that received FY23 VAWA awards and provide services to victims or hold offenders accountable through prosecution, courts, or law enforcement activities. Crimes addressed by S.T.O.P. VAWA are limited to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking. Applicant agencies should be certified and eligible to receive Local Victim Assistance Program (LVAP) 5% funds. Agencies without certification may apply for funding; however, if funding is awarded the agency will have to complete certification requirements prior to receiving an award. |

| OVERVIEW | The Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP), authorized by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022, provides formula funds to support gun violence reduction programs and initiatives.

Grant funding will focus on behavioral health deflection, which refers to strategies and programs within the criminal justice system designed to redirect individuals with behavioral health needs away from traditional punitive measures (such as incarceration) and towards rehabilitative and supportive services. These strategies aim to address the underlying issues of behavioral health and reduce potential violence by providing alternatives to prosecution and promoting interventions that support recovery and reintegration into society. |

Units of local government in the State of Georgia are also eligible to apply on behalf of first responders, public defender offices, courts, school systems, and local prosecuting and public defender offices. All proposals must aim to adopt or expand promising and/or evidence-based programs that prevent or reduce crime and violence, with a particular focus on gun violence, and target the risk factor of behavioral health needs that may be more likely to lead to this kind of violence. |
| HOW TO APPLY | Interested applicants should review the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program FY2022-2023 Behavioral Health Deflection Request for Applications in its entirety, and submit the completed application, including the requested information and all required attachments.
