Federal Grant Award Summary

The Crime Victims Reparation Commission New received $823,267 in formula grant funding from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program (CFDA 16.017) for the period August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2027. This award supports the Commission's role as the primary state-level administrator for distributing sexual assault victim services funding throughout New Mexico to rape crisis centers, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governmental programs.

The grant funds comprehensive, victim-centered services for sexual assault victims of all ages, including crisis intervention, counseling, advocacy, medical accompaniment, and related assistance designed to support survivors through the healing process and criminal justice system. As an intermediary state entity, the Commission sub-awards these resources to local community-based organizations serving sexual assault victims, with particular emphasis on providing culturally-sensitive services to underserved populations including Native American, Spanish-speaking, immigrant, and transgender communities. The formula grant supplements other state and territorial funding sources and is intended to enhance the capacity of rape crisis centers and nonprofit organizations to deliver comprehensive sexual assault victim services across the state.
