Survivors from underserved populations face challenges in accessing comprehensive and effective victim services that are accessible, culturally relevant, and responsive. As a result, survivors from underserved communities often do not receive appropriate services. The Underserved Program supports projects that address these gaps. Funds may be used to: develop or enhance population-specific victim services; develop or enhance outreach strategies to reach underserved survivors; build the capacity of population-specific organizations to serve survivors of these crimes; build the capacity of victim service providers to provide victim services that are population-specific; train and educate community partners and the criminal justice system on the needs of survivors from underserved populations; and develop culturally and linguistically appropriate materials for underserved survivors.
