This FY 2026 program supports direct victim-services for “Angel families” (survivors connected to crime victims), helping them access practical, trauma-informed supports. Funded organizations can provide emergency assistance, case management, shelter and housing, medical/dental care, legal and employment assistance, and transportation, including cash assistance for domestic/dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking where allowed. Services must be tailored to and directly address the needs of crime victims and their surviving family members.

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OVC and OVW FY 2026 Victim Services for Angel Families Program – Invited Notice of Funding Opportunity. This opportunity will fund direct services to crime victims to address their needs and connect them to other resources. Services and referrals provided to victims and surviving Angel families through this program may include, but are not limited to, emergency assistance; case management; shelter and housing; medical and dental care; victim advocacy; transportation; childcare; legal services; employment assistance; and, for victims of domestic/dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking, cash assistance to offset the costs of victimization. All services proposed under this program must directly address the needs of crime victims.
