Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACF IOAS OTIP ZV 0059
The Lighthouse: Services, Outreach, and Awareness for Labor Trafficking (Lighthouse) Demonstration Program is a federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP). It is a discretionary cooperative agreement (CFDA 93.598) designed to strengthen how communities identify and support adult foreign nationals who have experienced labor trafficking, as that term is defined under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as amended. In this program, a "foreign national" means someone who is not a U.S. citizen and not a lawful permanent resident (LPR). The overall intent is not just to fund isolated services, but to help organizations build, expand, and sustain the capacity needed to deliver effective, culturally appropriate support over time.
Funded projects are expected to center on three required activity areas. First, recipients must provide comprehensive, culturally and linguistically responsive case management for adult foreign nationals who have experienced labor trafficking. This emphasis signals that services should be accessible to people with different language needs and cultural backgrounds, and that support should be coordinated in a way that addresses multiple needs at once through direct services, practical assistance, and referrals. Second, recipients must conduct outreach aimed at increasing identification of foreign national adults who have experienced labor trafficking, meaning programs should actively connect with communities, workplaces, and settings where victims may be present but unseen. Third, recipients must carry out public awareness activities targeted to local community members and to organizations that are likely to encounter victims of labor trafficking, helping those audiences recognize indicators of trafficking and understand how to respond and refer appropriately.
A key feature of the Lighthouse program is its "whole family" approach. While the primary clients are adult foreign nationals who experienced labor trafficking, OTIP expects recipients to consider the needs of immediate family members living in the same household and to intentionally include services and opportunities that support overall household stability. In practice, this can mean designing service plans that account for family safety, basic needs, and access to resources that reduce vulnerability and support longer-term recovery and self-sufficiency.
OTIP also places a strong emphasis on how projects are implemented. Applicants are encouraged to build community partnerships, meaningfully engage people with lived experience (foreign nationals who have experienced trafficking), and hire qualified professionals who reflect the communities being served. These priorities are meant to improve trust, relevance, and effectiveness, especially in communities where fear, language barriers, or prior harm from institutions may make it harder for trafficking survivors to come forward and seek help.
The program includes a 12-month project implementation period for the prime recipient. During this period, recipients are expected to stand up the operational pieces needed for a functioning program, such as establishing optional partnerships, onboarding new staff, developing a service protocol tailored to foreign national trafficking survivors, and creating a sustainability plan so the work can continue beyond the award. Importantly, clients must be served during this same 12-month implementation period, so programs cannot treat the first year as planning-only; service delivery must occur alongside capacity-building.
