SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: In 2020, ACF's Office on Trafficking in Persons issued
six VHT-NC demonstration grants to fund projects to build, expand, and
sustain organizational and community capacity to deliver services to
Native Americans (i.e., American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native
Hawaiians, and/or Pacific Islanders) who have experienced human
trafficking through the provision of direct services, assistance, and
referrals. The purpose of the proposed data collection is to obtain a
comprehensive understanding of the VHT-NC projects and their
communities, including implementation strengths and challenges. A
primary aim is to conduct a participatory and culturally responsive
formative evaluation that is informed by and respects the knowledge,
values, and traditions of the communities implementing the VHT-NC
projects.
The proposed data collection will include semi-structured
interviews with VHT-NC project staff, key project partners, and project
participants
[[Page 73005]]
(adults who have received assistance from the VHT-NC project).
Interviews with project staff and partners will be conducted
individually or, if appropriate and requested by respondents, in small
groups. Interview topics will include community context, project goals
and design, organizational and staff characteristics, partnerships,
outreach and identification approaches, case management and service
provision, survivor engagement, and community training. Interviews with
project participants will be conducted individually. Participant
interviews will focus on the project services and assistance received
by participants, including those most helpful to healing and recovery.
Respondents: Respondents include VHT-NC project staff (e.g.,
project directors, project coordinators, case managers/advocates,
specialized services staff), key project partner staff, and project
participants (adults who have received assistance from the VHT-NC
project).
