OVC seeks to expand the set of TTA services and support available to ECM-funded task forces. This expansion will also benefit the broader anti-trafficking field by producing and sharing a variety of resources developed through this program. The OVC FY23 ECM TTA program will fund one training and technical assistance provider to further develop the ECM Program—both the overall ECM model and a comprehensive TTA program—to support and deliver TTA to state, local, and Tribal ECM task forces, and relevant partners.
