The Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP) was created by the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005), 42 U.S.C. 14043g, and is the first Federal funding stream solely dedicated to the provision of direct services to primary and secondary sexual assault victims. SASP encompasses four different funding streams for states, territories, tribes, state sexual assault coalitions, tribal sexual assault coalitions and culturally specific organizations.

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) grant program has two overarching goals: (1) To foster initiatives that develop and strengthen effective law enforcement, prosecution, adjudication and offender monitoring strategies to combat violent crimes against women; and (2) To foster initiatives that expand and bolster services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. Recipients under this program can provide personnel, training, and technical assistance for the widespread apprehension, prosecution, and adjudication of offenders who commit violent crimes against women.

The Victims of Crime Act Victim's Assistance Grant Program (VOCA) supports direct services to crime victims (i.e. persons who have suffered physical, sexual, financial, or emotional harm as a result of the commission of a crime). The federal Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) makes annual formula grants, which in turn are sub-granted to local organizations, for states to ensure that crime victims' rights are upheld and that they play a meaningful role in the criminal justice process.
