Announcement of the Award of a Single-Source Program Expansion 
Supplement Grant to Heartland Human Care Services in Chicago, IL

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, ACF, HHS.

ACTION: Announcement of the award of a single-source program expansion 
supplement to Heartland Human Care Services (HHCS) to support expanded 
services to foreign trafficking victims, potential trafficking victims, 
and certain family members.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of 
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announces the award of a single-source 
program expansion supplement grant to Heartland Human Care Services in 
Chicago, Illinois, for a total of $144,822.
    The supplemental funding will ensure that clients' essential needs, 
such as housing, transportation, communication, food, and medical care, 
will be met.

DATES: The period of support under these supplements is September 30, 
2014 through September 29, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maggie Wynne, Director, Division of 
Anti-Trafficking in Persons, Office of Refugee Resettlement, 901 D 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20024, Telephone (202) 401-4664. Email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Human Trafficking Victim 
Assistance Program (NHTVAP) provides funding for comprehensive case 
management services to victims of trafficking and certain family 
members on a per capita basis. The NHTVAP grantees help clients gain 
access to housing, employability services, mental health screening and 
therapy, medical care, and some legal services. During FY 2015, a 
grantee, Heartland Human Care Services (HHCS), served more clients than 
it had planned for in its budget for the year. Without the additional 
funding, HHCS would have to make significant cuts in services to 
current clients and limit the enrollment of new clients. With the 
supplemental funding, HHCS will be able to ensure that all of the 
clients' essential needs will be met.
    Statutory Authority: Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 
(TVPA), as amended, Section 107(b)(1)(B), 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B), 
authorizes funding for benefits and services to foreign victims of 
severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States, potential 
victims of trafficking seeking HHS Certification, and certain family 
members.
