<b>Subject:</b> [cvsd-grants] ACTION REQUESTED: VOCA Funding Survey<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Dear Oregon Victim Service Providers:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It is expected that VOCA’s 2015 allocation will be significantly more than we have ever seen due to the increase in the VOCA cap from $745M to $2.36B. Oregon’s allocation may be three times as much as we
have traditionally received, however, we do not have any new information at this time regarding specific numbers. In addition to an allocation increase CVSD received news last week regarding new funding for training. OVC believes the funding increase will
drive an increased need for training and technical assistance. OVC expects that it will award a non-competitive discretionary grant to each State and territory that is eligible to receive a VOCA victim assistance formula grant. The formula projection for
Oregon is $323,629. CVSD anticipates applying for these training dollars. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">With that said, it is very important that we start looking at how the state can most effectively use these increases. What we are interested in learning through this survey is where the priorities are in
victim services, the needs in your community and the ideas you have to provide services to victims in your areas of expertise. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As you respond to the survey questions, please keep in mind the overall VOCA purpose of direct service along with other guidelines for the use of VOCA funding. I have attached a link to the VOCA webpage as
a reference: <a href="http://www.doj.state.or.us/victims/pages/voca.aspx">http://www.doj.state.or.us/victims/pages/voca.aspx</a>. Several agencies replied to a survey distributed by the National Association of Victim Assistance Administrators (NAVAA) about
a year or so ago. I have attached a summary of all responses, including Oregon, for your reference. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We realize you complete a lot of surveys but we would appreciate
<b>one survey response from your agency</b>. <b>Please click on the link below to complete the survey.
</b>If you are receiving this message and you are not a grantee, we would like to hear from you as well.
<b>We want the survey to circulate as broadly as possible, so please forward the survey link to your partner organizations/agencies.
