Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2021 96002
The OVC FY 2021 Transforming America's Response to Elder Abuse: Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams (E-MDTs) for Older Victims of Financial Exploitation and Abuse grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is designed to strengthen how communities detect, investigate, and respond to elder abuse, with a particular focus on financial exploitation and related forms of victimization affecting older adults. The central idea is that elder abuse cases, especially those involving financial harm, are often complex and cut across multiple systems (criminal justice, adult protective services, civil legal remedies, financial institutions, health and behavioral health services, and victim support). OVC aims to fund work that brings these systems together in a structured, coordinated way so victims receive more effective help and cases can be addressed more thoroughly.
The program supports the development and/or enhancement of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs), and specifically seeks to expand the use and capacity of "enhanced multidisciplinary teams" (E-MDTs). In practice, an E-MDT is a coordinated group of professionals from different agencies and disciplines who collaborate on elder abuse cases. The "enhanced" model emphasizes deeper coordination, stronger information-sharing (as permitted by law), more robust victim-centered practices, and more comprehensive case planning than a basic MDT might provide. OVC's intent is that these teams will be better positioned to identify elder abuse earlier, respond more consistently, and reduce the chance that older victims are retraumatized by having to navigate fragmented services or repeat their experiences across multiple agencies.
A major goal of the opportunity is improving outcomes for older victims of crime by restoring safety and security and minimizing additional trauma. Financial exploitation can destabilize an older adult's housing, health care access, independence, and overall well-being, so OVC is looking for approaches that provide meaningful stabilization and support while the case is being reviewed or investigated. At the same time, the opportunity is built around improving case outcomes and strengthening accountability, meaning better investigative coordination, stronger documentation, clearer pathways for criminal prosecution when appropriate, and attention to civil and administrative options that may help stop ongoing exploitation and recover assets.
Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and city or township governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities); and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed under income security and social services (CFDA 16.582), reflecting the program's emphasis on victim protection, stability, and coordinated services in addition to justice-system responses.
The opportunity was created on April 29, 2021, with an original application closing date of June 14, 2021. OVC anticipated making about 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $375,000 per award. The overall framing aligns with DOJ priorities such as advancing civil rights, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the community. Within that framework, this program focuses on the practical, day-to-day coordination needed to address elder abuse effectively, especially in financially complex cases where offenders may be family members, caregivers, or sophisticated fraudsters, and where victims may face barriers related to health, dependency, isolation, or fear of retaliation.
In summary, this grant opportunity funds communities to build or strengthen E-MDT structures that can respond to elder financial exploitation and abuse in a coordinated, victim-centered manner. It emphasizes comprehensive service delivery, improved investigative and case coordination, reduced trauma for older victims, and stronger prospects for offender accountability, with the broader goal of making local and regional responses to elder abuse more effective, consistent, and protective.Apply for O OVC 2021 96002
