Overview
In the first quarter of the federal fiscal year, during the transition from one federal fiscal year to the next, all VOCA subgrantees are required to complete the VOCA Subgrant Award Report and/or Crime Type Allocations. These two components constitute the
VOCA SAR Year End Report, which closes out previous grant and/or opens a new grant. In the third quarter, subgrantees are required to submit an updated Crime Type Allocations report, which constitutes the
VOCA SAR Semi-Annual Report. Reports are submitted online via a unique link to a web form that will be emailed to you when the report opens.
The
Subgrant Award Report (SAR) collects basic information on subgrantees and the program activities that will be implemented with VOCA plus match funds, as well as the subgrantee’s overall victim services budget. Completion of the SAR gives subgrantees access to submit quarterly OVC PMT reports.
The
Crime Type Allocations report asks subgrantees to estimate how much of their closing VOCA award was allocated to different types of crime that correspond to the victimization types in the quarterly PMT report. Subgrantees may choose between one of four standardized allocation methods. By default, OCVS will provide allocations calculated based on the subgrantee’s victimization data submitted through quarterly PMT reports. In continuation funding years, these allocations will also be used to calculate estimated allocations for the new fiscal year. In the first year of a competitive funding cycle, subgrantees will provide initial estimates of how they plan to allocate VOCA funding to different types of crime using the
Year 1 Crime Type Allocation Estimates report.
