Published Date: 1/9/2026

Notice

Summary

The government is checking how well two programs, TVAP and Aspire, help people who survived human trafficking—adults and kids. They want to learn what’s working, what’s tricky, and how these programs run after a big update in 2022. If you have thoughts, you can share them by February 9, 2026, as this review helps make sure the programs get better and stay funded.
