FY21 sasp formula grant

The Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice (NCC) received a $438,961 Formula Grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women under the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program (SASP Formula Program, CFDA 16.017). The grant period runs from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023.

As the designated state administering agency, NCC will use the funding to support intervention, advocacy, accompaniment, and related assistance services for victims of sexual assault across Nebraska, as outlined in the SASP Formula Program. Services will be provided directly by NCC as well as through subawards to community-based non-profits. This includes the Nebraska Library Commission, which will support NCC in delivering services at the local level. The funding will increase victims' access to critical support through Nebraska as the program intends.
