Summary

The Alliance of Local Service Organizations (ALSO) is the comprehensive technical assistance provider for the Office on Violence Against Women's Grants for Outreach and Services to Underserved Populations Program. Through its Underserved Technical Assistance Project, ALSO provides training and technical assistance (TA) to Underserved grantee organizations to increase their capacity to develop and implement outreach strategies targeted at, and to provide victim services to, adult and youth victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking in underserved populations. In this program, underserved refers to populations who face barriers in accessing and using victim services, and includes populations underserved because of geographic location, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, underserved racial and ethnic populations, populations underserved because of special needs (such as language barriers, disabilities, alienage status, or age). To provide this technical assistance, ALSO collaborates with a diverse team of consultants and subject matter experts to meet the unique and varied needs of these grantees. Project TA offerings include: annual grantee orientations and institutes/virtual trainings, topical webinars, peer-to-peer engagement opportunities, one-on-one tailored technical assistance and consultation, e-newsletters, written products, and curated online resources accessed through the project's public and grantee portal webpages.
