Office on Violence Against Women Announces Grant Awards: Soteria Solutions a 2023 Recipient
Soteria Solutions in Durham, New Hampshire is pleased to announce we have been awarded a grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) Fiscal Year 2023 Training and Technical Assistance (TA) Initiative Solicitation. OVW is part of the Justice Department and provides federal leadership in developing the national capacity to reduce violence against all people and administer justice for and strengthen services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
For the 2023 fiscal year, the Office on Violence Against Women awarded 828 separate grants totaling $633,444,382 to states, local government, non-profit organizations, Tribes, coalitions, and institutions of higher education. Since the Violence Against Women Act was passed 29 years ago, the Department of Justice has awarded more than $10 billion through OVW grants.
Soteria Solutions has been a previous OVW TA grant recipient and is thrilled to receive this grant which enables us to offer our expertise, knowledge and guidance to Campus Program grant recipients. Soteria Solutions’ role is to provide guidance and ongoing support throughout the three years of the Campus Program grant to help recipients develop a strategic plan and, through planning and assessment, support the successful implementation of the plan on campuses to effect change.
“The partnership of OVW and Soteria Solutions is an important step towards creating a safer world for all people. The technical assistance that Soteria Solutions provides reflects our long history of work in this area.” Jane Stapleton, President of Soteria Solutions.
OVW awarded 40 Campus Program grants totaling over $15 million to reduce sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking on college and university campuses across the United States. The Campus Program offers leaders on college and university campuses access to funding essential to developing a strategy involving community leaders, law enforcement and students for a coordinated and integrated approach to effecting sustainable change on college campuses.
