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.
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.
