The goals of this program are to develop or enhance programs to provide direct services and diversion programs for youth in contact with the juvenile and family court systems who are victims of sex and/or labor trafficking or at risk for human trafficking due to past or current crime victimization, including child abuse and neglect. Applicants are invited to apply under two purpose areas.

Purpose Area 1
Programs funded under this purpose area will—

  • implement screening and assessment protocols/processes,

  • provide trauma-informed care through a multidisciplinary team,
  • increase awareness and identification of sex and/or labor trafficking involving youth, and
