Protecting Women and Girls through Founding and Replication of Existing Long-Term Safe Homes
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health Office on Women’s Health is offering federal grants to support the founding and replication of existing long-term safe homes for sexually exploited or abused women and girls. Awardees must establish safe homes that provide longer-term, 24-hour staffed residential housing and comprehensive multidisciplinary care addressing physical, psychological, social, and educational needs. Grantees are expected to strengthen partnerships with state- and community-level entities such as healthcare systems, law enforcement, and substance use disorder treatment providers to ensure trauma-informed recovery services. The project features a 24-month performance period with an optional competitive third year. Applications must be submitted electronically by July 19, 2026, for awards ranging from $500,000 to $1,900,000, with inquiries directed to Margaret Snyder at Margaret.Snyder@hhs.gov.
