The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is seeking applications for funding under the Transforming America’s Response to Elder Abuse: Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams (E-MDTs) for Older Victims of Financial Exploitation and Abuse program.
This program furthers the Department’s mission by supporting the development and training and technical assistance (TTA) needs of enhanced MDT models to strengthen the capacity of the victim services field and allied professionals to better serve and support victims of financial exploitation and abuse.
Goals: The objective of this solicitation is the development and/or enhancement of support for elder abuse MDTs that can better identify and respond to older adults who experience financial exploitation and other forms of elder abuse.
Objectives: To fund up to 10 E-MDTs at the tribal, local, or state levels, including existing and new teams, with special emphasis on better recognizing elder financial exploitation. These teams should include forensic accountants, neuropsychologists, medical personnel, and/or other appropriate professionals (to possibly evaluate the victim’s cognitive abilities and capacity), so that case-related efforts more comprehensively consider and address the needs of older victims of financial exploitation and other forms of elder abuse. These victim-focused E-MDTs are to be designed to improve the case review process and associated systems. In addition to system coordination, these E-MDTs should seek to better understand victims’ priorities and needs, which must include determining effective responses to financial exploitation.
