Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACF IOAS OTIP TV 0064
The Human Trafficking Prevention Education (HTYPE) Demonstration Program is a federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP). It is designed to help local educational agencies (LEAs) build and run practical, skills-based prevention programs in schools that reduce the risk of students becoming victims of human trafficking. The program is grounded in the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018 and focuses on both staff readiness and student-facing prevention education, with the overall intent of strengthening school systems so they can recognize risk early, respond appropriately, and prevent exploitation before it escalates.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to be more involved than in a typical grant and may provide ongoing guidance or collaboration during implementation. The funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity area, with CFDA number 93.327. OTIP anticipated making about three awards, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $500,000 per award. The opportunity was posted on April 18, 2022, and the original application deadline was June 17, 2022, with applications due electronically by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the closing date.
At its core, HTYPE requires LEAs to develop and implement a package of prevention and response activities that touch multiple layers of the school environment. First, the program must provide human trafficking education for educators and other school staff that helps them identify warning signs, recognize when a student may be at elevated risk, and respond in a way that is safe and appropriate. This is not framed as general awareness only; it is meant to equip staff with usable skills so they can take informed action when concerns arise, while also protecting student well-being.
Second, the LEA must deliver student-focused human trafficking prevention education that builds resilience against both labor trafficking and sex trafficking. The emphasis is on strengthening students knowledge and practical skills, which typically means education that helps students understand grooming and recruitment tactics, recognize unsafe situations, practice help-seeking behaviors, and learn how to access trusted resources. The prevention component is meant to be more than a one-time presentation, aiming instead for training that meaningfully improves students capacity to protect themselves and support peers.
Third, the program requires a train-the-trainer style element. LEAs must train qualified individuals who can implement and replicate the project activities across the broader school district or specific target areas. This requirement is aimed at sustainability and scale: rather than limiting the work to a small pilot group, the program is structured so that knowledge and delivery capacity can spread throughout the district over time, making it easier to maintain the program after the initial funding period and to standardize practices across multiple schools.
Fourth, each participating LEA must establish and implement a Human Trafficking School Safety Protocol (HTSSP). This protocol is intended to formalize how the school system will respond to suspected or confirmed human trafficking situations, including how concerns are documented, who is notified, how student safety is prioritized, and how the school coordinates with external partners. A key feature of the HTSSP requirement is that LEAs must consult with local law enforcement when developing the protocol. The consultation is specifically meant to address safety, security, and the well-being of students and staff, and to clarify the proper and effective role of school staff in responding to trafficking cases. This includes guidance around when and how to notify and involve parents, guardians, or caregivers, when appropriate, and how to do so in a way that does not increase risk to the student.
A central eligibility and design feature of HTYPE is the required partnership model. The LEA cannot deliver the program alone; it must work in partnership with a nonprofit or nongovernmental organization (NGO) to provide all aspects of human trafficking prevention education for students and school staff. This indicates that OTIP expects LEAs to bring in specialized expertise, established curricula, or service connections that many school systems do not have in-house. The partnership requirement also helps ensure that training is accurate, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and aligned with best practices in the anti-trafficking field.
In practical terms, this opportunity is meant to help school districts move from informal awareness efforts to a structured, replicable prevention and response approach. It supports building staff capability to spot risk and respond safely, delivering student education that strengthens protective factors, creating internal training capacity for broader rollout, and putting a clear safety protocol in place that defines roles and coordination with law enforcement and families. The program is positioned as a demonstration initiative, so funded projects are expected to show how these components can be implemented locally and potentially replicated across other schools or districts.Apply for HHS 2022 ACF IOAS OTIP TV 0064
