The primary objective of the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance Formula Grant Program is to provide direct assistance to victims of crime. That assistance is achieved through a variety of methods, including local government, private nonprofit organizations enhancing or expanding their direct services to victims of crime, encouraging states to improve assistance to crime victims and promoting the development of comprehensive services to all victims of crime. 

CJCC is soliciting applications for the VOCA Grant Program. Agencies must submit an application to be considered for funding. Agencies are encouraged to read the entirety of the attached RFA thoroughly before preparing and submitting their grant application. This application is open to all agencies meeting eligibility guidelines for the VOCA Grant Program; decisions about grant awards will be determined through a competitive process.

Applicants are limited to organizations within the State of Georgia that serve victims of crime, particularly victims of violent crimes, and are operated by a public agency, nonprofit organization, or a combination of such agencies or organizations. Please review the eligibility requirements on pages 6-7 of the RFA attached above to ensure eligibility.  

Applicant agencies should be certified and eligible to receive Local Victim Assistance Program (LVAP) 5% funds. Agencies without certification may apply for funding; however, if funding is awarded the agency must complete certification requirements prior to receiving an award.
