Formula Grant Program is to promote a
coordinated, multi-disciplinary
approach to improving the criminal
justice system’s response to violence
against women. It envisions a
partnership among law enforcement,
prosecution, courts, and victim
advocacy organizations to enhance
victim safety and hold offenders
accountable for their crimes of violence
against women. The Department of
Justice’s Office on Violence Against
Women (OVW) administers the STOP
Formula Grant Program funds which are
awarded to states and territories to
enhance the capacity of local
communities to develop and strengthen
effective law enforcement and
prosecution strategies to combat violent
crimes against women and to develop
and strengthen victim services in cases
involving violent crimes against women.
Each state and territory must allocate 25
percent for law enforcement, 25 percent
for prosecutors, 30 percent for victim
services (of which at least 10 percent
must be distributed to culturally
specific community-based
organizations), 5 percent to state and
local courts, and 15 percent for
discretionary distribution. VAWA
provides for a 25 percent match
requirement imposed on grant funds
under the STOP Formula Grant
Program. Thus, a grant made under this
program may not cover more than 75
percent of the total costs of the project
being funded. Under VAWA 2005, the
state cannot require matching funds for
a grant or subgrant for any tribe,
territory, or victim service provider,
regardless of funding allocation
category. The state is exempted from
matching the portion of the state award
that goes to a victim service provider for
victim services or that goes to tribes.
Territories are also exempted in full.
States can receive additional waiver of
match based on a petition to OVW and
a demonstration of financial need. OVW
will look at the time of closeout at the
entities and purposes of funds and base
the required match on that.
The purpose of this new information
collection is to provide a worksheet for
documenting the amount of matching
funds required at the closeout of a
specific fiscal year award under the
STOP Formula Grant Program. The type
of questions on the worksheet will
include award number, award amount,
amount of funds sub-awarded to victim
service providers for victim services or
to tribes.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that it will
take the approximately 51 respondents
