Subject:Underserved Victim Advocacy and Outreach Program Grant
BACKGROUND:
The Underserved Victim Advocacy and Outreach Program is supported by Victims of
Crime Act (VOCA) Assistance and is authorized by the Victims of Crime Act of 1984, as
amended. The primary goal of the program is to enhance the safety of
unserved/underserved victim populations in California by establishing victim advocacy
positions solely dedicated to the unserved/underserved population, coordinate direct
services in an enhanced response to victimization of specific crime populations among
locally involved agencies and implement an outreach awareness program to the specific
population determined as unserved/underserved.
This grant will fund 1.5 FTE Victim Witness Program Specialists to provide services to
the designated unserved/underserved victim population.
