Victim Assistance performance measures (en español) collect data on the number of victims served, victim demographics, types of victimization, and services provided. Victim Assistance grantees and subgrantees report this data on activities supported with VOCA grants plus match funding.
Victim Assistance grantees are also required to submit a Subgrant Award Report (SAR) (en español) for every subgrantee within 90 days after the subaward’s start date. The SAR captures the subgrantee name, type of organization, service area, subaward amount, period of performance, and purpose. OVC uses this data about Victim Assistance subgrantees to respond to data requests from other government offices, the legislature, media groups, and other stakeholders.
