Governor announces additional $11M for Crime Victim Support From Morgan Hall Frankfort, KY - On June 1, 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear and Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary Kerry Harvey announced that applications will be available June 5 for $11 million in additional grant funding to support victims of crime in the commonwealth. Nationwide decreases in the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) have caused states across the nation, including Kentucky, to experience reductions in funding. To supplement this reduced funding, the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet's state fiscal year 2024 budget includes an additional $11 million from the State Fiscal Recovery Fund of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). This will provide additional funding for programs that focus on crime reduction or directly assist crime victims in the commonwealth. "Fighting for victims of crime has been a top priority of mine since I took office, first as Kentucky's Attorney General and now as Governor," Gov. Beshear said. "This additional ARPA funding allows us to support even more victims of crime by supplementing lost VOCA funding so that we can further build on the progress we've made to create a safer commonwealth for all." Applications for the next round of VOCA funding were submitted in May, with the award announcements of more than $17 million in this grant funding coming in September. This additional $11 million brings the total amount to be awarded by the Beshear-Coleman administration to over $27 million, increasing the ability for more Kentuckians to get the support and assistance they need. The Governor said VOCA is the only federal grant program supporting direct assistance services to victims and survivors of all types of crimes. The primary purpose of the VOCA grant program is to extend and enhance services to survivors of violent crime. Anyone who has suffered physical, sexual, financial or emotional harm as the result of the commission of a crime is eligible to receive VOCA-supported assistance services. These services respond to the emotional, psychological or physical needs of crime victims, assist them in stabilizing their lives after victimization, help them understand and navigate the criminal justice process and/or help restore a measure of security and safety for survivors. The additional ARPA funding will ensure that this support continues. "Victims of crime should have every opportunity available to reclaim their lives after an act of violent crime is committed, and the commonwealth promises to be there every step of the way," said Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary Kerry Harvey. "The VOCA and ARPA funding is critical to the work of our community partners in fully supporting victims of crime as they navigate their journey to recovery." Use of the additional funds must be compliant with and eligible under the ARPA Final Rule. Not all activities eligible under federal VOCA guidelines may be eligible under ARPA guidelines. If awarded, these ARPA funds should be treated as an individual grant, separate from any subaward of VOCA funding from the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet. If an organization receives both a VOCA subaward and an additional ARPA subaward, they should keep records that clearly distinguish which funds have been requested and obligated for all reimbursable activities. Information on eligible activities and materials for reference will be provided in the application. All applications must be submitted online via Intelligrants 10.0 (IGX), the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet's electronic grants management system. New applicants will be required to establish an account and become familiar with the system well in advance of the due date. Applicants should also note that validating a new user account requires 48 to 72 hours. Applicants must also possess a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from the federal System for Award Management at https://sam.gov/ in order to be eligible to receive an award. Applications are due by June 23 at 6 p.m. EDT and awards are expected to be announced in September. Assistance with the application process may be obtained by contacting grants management staff at JUSIGX@ky.gov. This story was posted on 2023-06-05 07:42:48
