Summary
VOCA provides direct services to crime victims who have suffered physical, sexual, financial or emotional harm as a result of the commission of a crime by another person or persons. VOCA funds support a broad array of programs and services that focus on helping victims in the immediate aftermath of crime and supporting them as they rebuild their lives.
The primary source of revenue for VOCA grants is the Crime Victims Fund which was established in 1984. The Fund is unique in that it is composed primarily of criminal fines, special assessments, and bond forfeitures from convicted federal offenders, making it a self-sufficient source of income.
Targeted Services provided by VOCA grant funds are any efforts that
Respond to the emotional and physical needs of crime victims;
Assist primary and secondary victims of crime to stabilize their lives after a victimization;
Assist victims to understand and participate in the criminal justice system; and
Provide victims of crime with a measure of safety and security such as boarding-up broken windows and replacing or repairing locks.
History of Funding
None is available.
Additional Information
Services supported by VOCA funds must be widely accessible and must not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, sex, race, color, national origin, or religion

In-patient Treatment Facilities such as those designed to provide substance abuse and/or mental-health treatment are not eligible for funding.
Deadline Details

Award Details
Award amounts vary. Cost sharing/matching of 25% to 35% is required. VOCA funds must be distributed as follows:
A minimum of 10% of the funds distributed shall be used to provide services to victims of sexual assault;
A minimum of 10% of the funds distributed shall be used to provide services to victims of domestic violence;
A minimum of 10% of the funds distributed shall be used to provide services to victims of child abuse;
