It serves as the central source of federal financial support for direct services to crime victims. VOCA is administered at the federal level through the U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime, which annually awards a grant to each state, the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories. Those state agencies, in turn, subgrant to organizations providing direct services to crime victims.
The money for these grants comes from the Crime Victims Fund, a special fund into which fines, penalty assessments, bond forfeitures collected from convicted federal offenders and certain other collections are deposited. Taxpayers do not fund VOCA grants. Each state has a designated VOCA assistance agency to administer VOCA grants.
While minimal federal requirements must be met, each state is given great discretion in awarding specific subgrants. In Oregon, the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) is the designated agency for the administration of VOCA funds. The Crime Victim and Survivor Services Division (CVSSD) of the Oregon DOJ has specific program responsibility for VOCA.
The newly formed Competitive and Non-Competitive Advisory Committees serve as a review body to the Oregon DOJ and CVSSD. Congress took an unprecedented step forward in meeting the critical needs of our nation’s crime victims by increasing the VOCA cap for FY 2015. As part of the 2015 appropriations bill, Congress more than tripled the annual amount of non-taxpayer money released from the Crime Victims fund by raising the annual cap.
With this unexpected increase to Oregon’s VOCA allocation, CVSSD has the opportunity to make significant improvements in victim and survivor assistance services as well as the responsibility to do so in an accountable and transparent manner.

Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
