Eligibility

You may be eligible for Aspire if you are a foreign national child (under the age of 18) with a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Eligibility Letter, an HHS Interim Assistance Letter, or a pending referral to the HHS Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP).

You may be eligible for TVAP if you are a foreign national adult (18 and older) who has received an HHS Certification Letter, is seeking an HHS Certification Letter by actively pursuing T nonimmigrant status (a “T-visa”) and/or Continued Presence (CP) issued by DHS, or received an HHS Eligibility Letter as a minor.

Please note that U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) are not eligible for assistance or services under TVAP or Aspire.

Become a TVAP / Aspire Provider

USCRI is always open to welcoming new service provider partners to its national TVAP and Aspire network. You will join a network of experts who have the resources and training to support survivors of trafficking in your local community. Through partnering with USCRI, you will receive funding to provide survivors of trafficking with case management services and direct financial assistance for client expenses.

The USCRI TVAP & Aspire teams are also available to provide ongoing training and technical assistance to your staff. To apply, please email [email protected] and/or [email protected]. USCRI staff will then review eligibility requirements with your agency and determine whether your agency is a good fit for the TVAP/Aspire programs. USCRI will then provide MOU documentation for your agency to complete, and will provide training to ensure you meet all program expectations.
