support regarding the school shooting incident in Oxford Township on November 30, 2021, which
included 4 deceased students, 7 surviving gunshot victims and approximately 2,000 terrorist victims
consisting of the Oxford High School student body and staff. The magnitude and complexity of this
case requires a substantial response from Victim Services, which includes ensuring victims are
continuously updated on case developments, being provided emotional support throughout the court
process, receiving referrals for mental health treatment when requested and receiving assistance
seeking financial compensation from the state for reimbursement of medical and mental health bills.
This grant award includes funding for partial reimbursement of salaries and fringe benefits for one

(#4010201-15538) and one (1) GF/GP FTE Office Support Clerk Senior position (#4010201-15532).

be used by the Grantee to replenish the operating advance used for
program operations.

recurring agreement with the Department. Subsequent Department
agreements may not be executed if an outstanding operational advance

a specific local match condition exists.
C.Financial Status Report Submission
The Grantee must electronically prepare and submit FSRs to the Department
via the EGrAMS website http://egrams-mi.com/mdhhs.
FSRs must be submitted on a monthly basis, no later than 30 days after the

program expenditures, up to the total agreement amount. Failure to meet
financial reporting responsibilities as identified in this Agreement may result in
withholding future payments.
The Grantee representative who submits the FSR is certifying to the best of
their knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete and accurate and
the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and
objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The

C. AEAP GRANT ACTIVITIES SERVICE DEFINITIONS (if these activities are included in the
AEAP Grant Budget)
Information and Referral
Information and referrals are confidential and victim-centered services focused on
equipping service participants, their family members, witnesses, first responders with
information about the resources that could be helpful for their healing and safety, as well
as the systems they will come into contact with as a result of the trauma.
Personal Advocacy and Accompaniment
Personal advocacy/accompaniment is confidential, culturally honoring, victim -centered
support provided through physical presence at appointments and/or additional
assistance in accessing any needed services (beyond making a referral) and removing
barriers to receiving those services. The goal of personal advocacy/accompaniment is to
ensure service participants have adequate support and access to services to facilitate
healing.
Emotional Support and Safety Services
Emotional support and safety services are confidential, culturally honoring, victim
centered, trauma-informed services with the primary purpose of providing emotional
and practical support to address the effects of trauma and promote healing and safety
for the victim/survivor. Emotional support services do not rise to the level of professional
counseling/therapy. These services refer to non-clinical personal support provided
outside of a therapeutic relationship.
13
Individual Counseling/Therapy/Mental Health Services Providing psychological,
psychiatric, and/or other counseling-related treatment for individuals, couples, and
family members. This service must be provided by a person who meets professional
standards to provide these services in the jurisdiction in which the care is administered.
Services may include assessment and treatment. Only OVC approved Evidence-Based
Treatments and Evidence-Based Practices for Individual Counseling/Therapy/Mental
Health Services may be provided under this Agreement.
Shelter/Housing Services Below is the OVC Service Definition for Shelter/Housing
Services. Based upon the AEAP needs assessment it is not likely that these services will be
needed. If in the course of responding to victim needs a victim identifies this need contact
DVS for guidance.
Emergency Shelter or Safe House: Providing emergency short-term shelter to individuals
and families following victimization.
Transitional Housing: Providing temporary housing for victims who, due to the nature of
the victimization, cannot safely return to their former housing and need more time to
stabilize themselves before living independently. Note: Referrals to transitional housing
should be counted under Information and Referral Services (section A).
Relocation Assistance (includes assistance with obtaining housing): Coordinating
assistance with initial rental expenses, utility deposits, security deposits, and/or moving
fees. This includes assistance locating long-term housing for the victim, regardless of
distance, based on safety needs.
Criminal/Civil Justice System Assistance
Criminal/civil justice system assistance is confidential, culturally honoring, victim-
centered, trauma-informed support surrounding the service participant’s involvement in
the criminal/civil justice systems. The goal of criminal/civil justice system assistance is to
assist victim/survivor in gaining knowledge of the criminal/civil justice systems and
access to all avenues of participation in those systems, and to ensure their interests are
represented and their rights upheld, and to promote the responsiveness of individual
legal system participants.
14
Outreach and Public Awareness
Outreach and Public Awareness involves informing the victims and the general public of
services available to victims of Mass Violence or Terrorism. The goal is to increase
awareness of and knowledge about mass violence victimization as well as service
participants knowledge about how to access to services.
Coordinated Community Response
Coordinated Community Response involves the development of both formal and
informal working relationships and agreements with the identified agencies and
programs that are responsible for service delivery in order to provide more effective,
victim centered, trauma-informed services to service participants and their family
members. This coordination includes recognizing and addressing the needs of under-
represented and/or culturally marginalized groups.

from the date of submission of the final expenditure report, unless a different retention
period applies -- and to which the Grantee (and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any
tier) must provide access, include performance measurement information, in addition to
the financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and other pertinent
records indicated at 2 C.F.R. 200.333.
In the event that an award-related question arises from documents or other materials
prepared or distributed by OJP that may appear to conflict with, or differ in some way
from, the provisions of the Part 200 Uniform Requirements, the Grantee is to contact
MDHHS-DVS promptly for clarification.
2. Requirement to report actual or imminent breach of personally identifiable information
(PII)
The Grantee (and any "subrecipient" at any tier) must have written procedures in place

3. Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false
statements
The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with
any assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the Grantee that relate to
conduct during the period of performance also is a material requirement of this award.
Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice
("DOJ") may determine that it will not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more
requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such exceptions regarding
enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of performance, are
(or will be during the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice
Programs ("OJP") webpage entitled "Legal Notices: Special circumstances as to particular
award conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm), and
incorporated by reference into the award.
By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the Grantee, the authorized Grantee
official accepts all material requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if
personally executed by the authorized Grantee official, all assurances or certifications
submitted by or on behalf of the Grantee that relate to conduct during the period of
performance.
Failure to comply with one or more award requirements -- whether a condition set out in
full below, a condition incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification
related to conduct during the award period -- may result in MDHHS-DVS taking
appropriate action with respect to the Grantee and the award. Among other things, the
DVS may withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award.
MDHHS-DVS also may take other legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government
related to this award (or concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the subject
of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C.
10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative
remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-
3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or
unenforceable by its terms, that provision shall first be applied with a limited
construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held,
instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or -unenforceable, such provision shall be
deemed severable from this award.

number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards (that is, OJP grants and
cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the
U.S. Code.
Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory
provision that has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a

22. All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal authorization
The Grantee, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all
applicable requirements for authorization of any subaward. This condition applies to
agreements that -- for purposes of federal grants administrative requirements -- OJP
considers a "subaward" (and therefore does not consider a procurement "contract").
The details of the requirement for authorization of any subaward are posted on the OJP
web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/SubawardAuthorization.htm (Award
condition: All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal authorization), and are
incorporated by reference here.
23. Requirements related to System for Award Management and Universal Identifier
Requirements
The recipient must comply with applicable requirements regarding the System for Award
Management (SAM), currently accessible at https://www.sam.gov/. This includes
applicable requirements regarding registration with SAM, as well as maintaining the

The recipient also must comply with applicable restrictions on subawards ("subgrants")
to first-tier subrecipients (first-tier "subgrantees"), including restrictions on subawards to
entities that do not acquire and provide (to the recipient) the unique entity identifier
required for SAM registration.
The details of the recipient's obligations related to SAM and to unique entity identifiers
are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/SAM.htm (Award
condition: System for Award Management (SAM) and Universal Identifier Requirements),

25
23. Restrictions on "lobbying"
In general, as a matter of federal law, federal funds awarded by OJP may not be used by
the Grantee, or any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, either directly or indirectl y,
to support or oppose the enactment, repeal, modification, or adoption of any law,
regulation, or policy, at any level of government. See 18 U.S.C. 1913. (There may be
exceptions if an applicable federal statute specifically authorizes certain activities that
otherwise would be barred by law.)
Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OJP from being used by
the Grantee, or any subrecipient at any tier, to pay any person to influence (or attempt
to influence) a federal agency, a Member of Congress, or Congress (or an official or
employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of a federal grant or coo perative
agreement, subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions such as
renewing, extending, or modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain
exceptions to this law apply, including an exception that applies to Indian tribe s and
tribal organizations.
Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a Grantee (or
subrecipient) would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the Grantee is to
contact MDHHS-DVS for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior
written approval of OJP.
24. Specific post-award approval required to use a noncompetitive approach in any
procurement contract that would exceed $250,000
The Grantee, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all
applicable requirements to obtain specific advance approval to use a noncompetitive
approach in any procurement contract that would exceed the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold (currently, $250,000). This condition applies to agreements that -- for
purposes of federal grants administrative requirements -- OJP considers a procurement
"contract" (and therefore does not consider a subaward).
The details of the requirement for advance approval to use a noncompetitive approach in
a procurement contract under an OJP award are posted on the OJP web site at
https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/NoncompetitiveProcurement.htm (Award condition:
Specific post-award approval required to use a noncompetitive approach in a
procurement contract (if contract would exceed $250,000)), and are incorporated by
reference here.

25. Requirements pertaining to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons
(including reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)
The Grantee, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all
applicable requirements (including requirements to report allegations) pertaining to
prohibited conduct related to the trafficking of persons, whether on the part of Grantee,
subrecipients ("subgrantees"), or individuals defined (for purposes of this condition) as
"employees" of the Grantee or of any subrecipient.
The details of the Grantee's and subrecipients obligations related to prohibited conduct
related to trafficking in persons are posted on the OJP web site at
https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/ProhibitedConduct-Trafficking.htm (Award condition:
Prohibited conduct by Grantees and subrecipients related to trafficking in persons
(including reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)), and are
incorporated by reference here.
26. Requirement to report potentially duplicative funding
If the Grantee currently has other active awards of federal funds, or if the Grantee
receives any other award of federal funds during the period of performance for this
award, the Grantee promptly must determine whether funds from any of those other
federal awards have been, are being, or are to be used (in whole or in part) for one or
more of the identical cost items for which funds are provided under this award. If so, the
Grantee must promptly notify MDHHS-DVS in writing of the potential duplication, and, if
so, requested by the MDHHS-DVS, must seek a budget-modification or change-of-
project-scope Grant Budget Amendment to eliminate any inappropriate duplication of
funding.
27. Reporting potential fraud, waste, and abuse, and similar misconduct
The recipient, and any subrecipients ("subgrantees") at any tier, must promptly refer to
MDHHS-DVS and the DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) any credible evidence
that a principal, employee, agent, subrecipient, contractor, subcontractor, or other
person has, in connection with funds under this award-- (1) submitted a claim that
violates the False Claims Act; or (2) committed a criminal or civil violation of laws
pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct.
27
Potential fraud, waste, abuse, or misconduct involving or relating to funds under this
award should be reported to the OIG by--(1) online submission accessible via the OIG
webpage at https://oig.justice.gov/hotline/contact-grants.htm (select "Submit Report
Online"); (2) mail directed to: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General,
