    Abstract: The Grants for Training and Services to End Violence 
Against Individuals with Disabilities and Deaf People Program 
(Disability Grant Program) seeks to create sustainable change within 
and between organizations that improves the response to individuals 
with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of sexual 
assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and to hold 
perpetrators of such crimes accountable. The program was created by 
Congress to address the pressing need to focus on sexual assault, 
domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking against individuals 
with disabilities and Deaf individuals due to the proliferation of such 
crimes.
    Disability Grant Program funds are used to establish and strengthen 
multidisciplinary collaborative relationships; increase organizational 
capacity to provide accessible, safe, and effective services to 
individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of 
violence and abuse; identify needs within the grantee's organization 
and/or service area; and develop a plan to address those identified 
needs that builds a strong foundation for future work.
    Eligible applicants are limited to: States; units of local 
government; Indian Tribal governments or Tribal organizations; and 
victim service providers, such as State or Tribal domestic violence or 
sexual assault coalitions or nonprofit,
