About this program
The Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime distributed $47.7 million in Recovery Act victim assistance formula grants to state programs (CFDA 16.801), with the most recent awards made on March 1, 2009. This program is inactive and no longer accepting applications; all documented activity ceased over seventeen years ago.
The Recovery Act grants funded victim assistance services designed to respond to the emotional and physical needs of crime victims, assist victims to stabilize their lives after victimization, help victims understand and participate in the criminal justice system, and provide safety measures such as boarding broken windows and replacing locks. The program operated exclusively as Project Grants, with 55 awards distributed in fiscal year 2009. Award sizes ranged from $204 thousand to $2.931 million, with a median award around $750 thousand to $900 thousand. Representative funded projects included grants of $2.931 million (2009SGB90121), $2.109 million (2009SGB90104), and $1.789 million (2009SGB90126) to support state victim assistance infrastructure.
All 55 grants were funded by the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime, which was the sole funding source under this listing. The combined non-federal share was minimal at $100 thousand against $47.7 million in federal obligations, indicating negligible cost-sharing requirements.
The Recovery Act authorization under which this program operated has long expired, and no new opportunities have been posted. State victim assistance funding now flows through the ongoing VOCA grant program rather than this time-limited Recovery Act mechanism. Pursuit of this Assistance Listing is not viable.
Objective and description
- Objective
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) will award each eligible state victim assistance program a Recovery Act - VOCA victim assistance formula grant to support the provision of services to victims of crime throughout the Nation. Services are defined as those efforts that (1) respond to the emotional and physical needs of crime victims; (2) assist primary and secondary victims of crime to stabilize their lives after a victimization; (3) assist victims to understand and participate in the criminal justice system; and (4) provide victims of crime with a measure of safety and security such as boarding up broken windows and replacing and repairing locks. In addition to fulfilling program-specific purposes, projects funded under the Recovery Act should be designed to further one or more of the general purposes of the Recovery Act, which are to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery; to assist those most impacted by the recession; to provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health; to invest in transportation, environmental protection, or other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases.
