Trauma Recovery Center Grant Fiscal Year 27/28

Scope

Eligible applicants: Business; Individual; Nonprofit; Public Agency; Tribal Government.

The Trauma Recovery Center (TRC) Grant funds organizations that operate throughout California to provide survivors of violent crime access to mental health or social services that may not be accessible for them through existing avenues.

The TRC model offers wrap-around clinical services and cost-effective solutions for under- or unserved survivors and includes assertive outreach, clinical case management, assistance with law enforcement, referral to community resources and trauma-informed treatment.

TRCs are meant to meet the victim where they are and serve each victim specific to his/her/their needs.

Grant planning is not an eligible activity.

Funding for TRCs varies each year with $2,000,000 from the Restitution Fund and a percentage of savings from the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund (SNSF) that varies annually.

Individual awards vary by number of passing applications, funds available, and the amount requested to fund the TRC.

Grants are for two fiscal years at a time, and TRCs may re-apply at the end of their awarded grant period to avoid a lapse in funding.

Each year, CalVCB posts a Notice of Funds Available (NOFA) that instructs how interested applicants may apply and what each application should include.

Questions about the NOFA may be submitted and will receive a timely response within the application deadline.

Due dates for the application will be included in the NOFA posting.
