New funding opportunities to support victims of elder/dependent adult abuse are available from the California Office of Emergency Services. Here are links to the Victims of Crime Act Elder Abuse grant proposal request (2016-17 Elder Abuse Program (XE) RFP), the request for proposals for underserved populations (2015-16 Unserved/Underserved Victim Advocacy and Outreach (UV) Program and Unserved/Underserved Victim Advocacy and Outreach (XV) Program RFP) and for proposals to serve victims with disabilities (2015-16 Victims With Disabilities (XU) Program RFP). These are the grants we have been waiting for as they are targeted towards our populations.
