Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) | OVC Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) OVC Supports Communities Responding to Terrorist Attacks and Mass Violence Terrorism and criminal mass violence leave victims with serious physical and emotional wounds and challenge government officials and communities to respond immediately with appropriate efforts.
Victim assistance and compensation providers face the daunting task of coordinating effective and timely responses, providing information and assistance to victims, and working closely with other agencies and victim service organizations. Through the Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP), OVC supports victims and jurisdictions that have experienced incidents of terrorism or mass violence.
AEAP is designed to supplement the available resources and services of entities responding to acts of terrorism or mass violence in order to ensure that a program’s resources are sufficient and/or not diverted to these victims to the detriment of other crime victims. Following the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P.
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma, Congress amended the 1984 Victims of Crime Act, authorizing OVC to establish an Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve (Emergency Reserve) using resources from the Crime Victims Fund (the Fund). Every year, OVC can access up to $50 million from the Emergency Reserve that is available beyond the appropriation level for the Fund that Congress establishes annually.
The OVC Director can use these Emergency Reserve funds for AEAP.

OVC's Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside is a non-competitive formula program — every federally recognized Tribe that applies receives an award, sized by a population certification submitted months earlier. With the FY2026 Grants.gov deadline on August 6, 2026, here is how the formula works, what the money funds (including support for families of missing and murdered Indigenous persons), and why the March certification was the decisive step.
