Update VOCA Victim Assistance Administrators' Toolkit and Crime Victim Compensation Manager's Guidebook

OVC will award two separate competitive 24-month cooperative agreements of up to $150,000 each to enhance the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance toolkit and Victim Compensation guidebook by using field-generated comments and suggestions to shape these two tools to reflect technological changes in the field since their creation and include new regulations, and performance and grant requirements. These tools are invaluable resources for new state VOCA administrators and managers. Awards will be made to entities who demonstrate a deep understanding of the relationship between VOCA formula funding, VOCA State Administrating Agencies and VOCA subrecipients. Applicants are urged to begin in advance of the May 23, 2016, deadline.
