The Contribution Program to Combat Serious and Organized Crime (CPCSOC) for the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (the Department) supports initiatives, research, partnership building, specialized police services, projects and programs to increase knowledge, raise awareness and/or help advance efforts to combat serious and organized crime.
The objective of this call for proposals is to fund projects by eligible organizations that provide trauma-informed, culturally-relevant, wrap-around services and supports to victims and survivors of human trafficking. Projects funded through this call should aim to empower victims and survivors of human trafficking to regain their independence. Further, projects should help to prevent the re-victimization of people who have been the targets of human trafficking, and support their recovery as they regain control over their lives, gain independence, and reintegrate into their communities. Projects could provide transition, second stage housing, mental health, and employment services and supports, as well as training and tools to gain financial independence. Unique forms of support will help victims work through the trauma they have experienced when being trafficked and provide them with the tools necessary for them to reintegrate into their communities.
