Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2023 171702
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), within the U.S. Department of Justice, offered the FY 2023 grant opportunity titled "Transforming America's Response to Elder Abuse: Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams (E-MDTs) for Older Victims of Abuse and Financial Exploitation and T&TA" (Funding Opportunity Number O-OVC-2023-171702). This discretionary program was released on March 31, 2023, and closed on May 24, 2023. Awards were made as cooperative agreements, which typically means recipients should expect a more active federal role than in a standard grant, such as ongoing collaboration, structured reporting, and participation in federal guidance or technical assistance activities.
The central purpose of the solicitation was to strengthen how communities identify, investigate, and respond to elder abuse, with a specific emphasis on financial exploitation alongside other forms of abuse affecting older adults. OVC sought to fund either the development of new Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams (E-MDTs) or the enhancement of existing teams so they can respond more effectively and in a more coordinated way. The underlying idea is that elder abuse cases are often complex, involving medical, legal, financial, and safety issues at the same time, and a coordinated team approach can reduce gaps, speed up interventions, and improve outcomes for victims.
In addition to supporting local and regional E-MDT efforts, the solicitation also included support for a National Elder Abuse Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) Center. That national component was intended to help spread effective practices, provide training and guidance to the field, and strengthen consistency and quality across jurisdictions. By pairing local implementation with national training and technical assistance, OVC aimed to build capacity not just in a handful of funded sites, but across a broader network of professionals and agencies dealing with elder abuse and exploitation.
OVC framed the program within broader Department of Justice and Office of Justice Programs (OJP) priorities, including advancing civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims and others impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, addressing evolving threats, and improving trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. In practical terms, this signals an expectation that funded projects consider equity in outreach and services, reduce barriers to reporting and assistance, and ensure older victims from underserved communities can access coordinated support without being retraumatized by the process.
The solicitation emphasized outcomes that matter to victims and the justice system: improving case outcomes, minimizing additional trauma during the response, restoring safety and security for older adult victims, and increasing offender accountability. The E-MDT model is aligned with these goals because it encourages shared decision-making and coordinated case planning among partners who might otherwise work in parallel, such as victim service providers, adult protective services, law enforcement, prosecutors, civil legal aid, medical and mental health providers, and financial institutions or experts when exploitation is involved.
Eligible applicants were broad and included state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; other tribal organizations; and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories). The program was listed under CFDA 16.582 and categorized under "Income Security and Social Services" as its primary funding activity category, reflecting the victim-service and protective-response focus even as it intersects with criminal justice.
The funding parameters indicated an award ceiling of $1,000,000, with an expectation of 11 awards. Overall, the opportunity was designed to move communities toward a more organized, victim-centered, and multidisciplinary approach to elder abuse and financial exploitation, while also building national infrastructure for training and technical assistance so that effective approaches can be adopted and sustained beyond the initial award sites.Apply for O OVC 2023 171702
