Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ORR ZT 1356
The Direct Services for Survivors of Torture (DS SOT) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant announced by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Released for fiscal year 2018, the program is designed to expand access to coordinated, strengths-based, trauma-informed services for survivors of torture and their families, with the overall goal of supporting healing, recovery, and long-term stabilization after extreme human rights abuses.
The core focus of the DS SOT program is providing direct assistance to people who were tortured on foreign soil "under the color of law," meaning the harm was inflicted by, at the direction of, or with the consent or acquiescence of authorities or individuals acting in an official capacity. ORR emphasizes an integrated, holistic service model that recognizes torture’s wide-ranging impacts on physical health, mental health, legal safety, family functioning, and social and economic well-being. Funded projects are expected to deliver or arrange a comprehensive package of supports that can include medical care, psychological and behavioral health services, legal services, and social work or case management, with services delivered either directly by the grantee organization or through formal partnerships, affiliates, or subcontracted providers.
The funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACF-ORR-ZT-1356) falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.604. ORR anticipated making approximately 34 awards, with an award ceiling of $450,000 per award. This structure suggests ORR intended to support multiple service sites or regional providers capable of delivering specialized torture survivor services, often requiring clinical expertise, careful coordination across disciplines, and strong referral networks to meet complex client needs.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of entities that could credibly deliver or coordinate trauma-informed direct services. Eligible applicants included state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those categories); and for-profit entities, including small businesses. This wide eligibility reflects the reality that torture survivor services are sometimes housed in nonprofit resettlement and human rights organizations, but can also be delivered through clinics, academic medical centers, university-based programs, community health systems, or other multidisciplinary service providers.
Key administrative details included a creation date of May 15, 2018, and an original application closing date of July 3, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, the opportunity sought to strengthen the service infrastructure available to torture survivors in the United States by funding programs that can provide coordinated medical, mental health, legal, and social supports in a culturally responsive and trauma-informed manner, whether through a single organization’s in-house capacity or through an integrated partner network.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ORR ZT 1356
