Details:
The primary purpose of the VOCA Grant Program is to fund direct services to crime victims and their families. VOCA is a federal formula grant. Our funding partner is the United States Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime.
The goal of VOCA Victim Assistance funding is to improve the treatment of victims of crime by funding programs and services that provide victims with the assistance, support, and services necessary to aid their restoration and healing after a criminal act.
Under this funding source, the Governor’s Crime Commission is particularly interested in applications that meet the needs of historically marginalized and underserved victims of crime populations. The Committee encourages programs that involve multi-disciplinary partnerships, local or regional collaborations, and evidence-based practices to meet the needs of crime victims.
The Crime Victims Fund provides financial assistance that support a variety of programs, services, and activities to support and assist victims of crime. Services under this grant program are defined as those efforts that respond to the emotional and physical needs of crime victims; assist primary and secondary victims of crime to stabilize their lives after a victimization; assist victims to understand and participate in the criminal justice system; and provide victims of crime with a measure of safety and security as appropriate to their victimization.
