Abstract: The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW)'s
Congressional Appropriations for FYs 2023 and 2024 include a combined
$88,000,000 for ``an initiative to provide financial assistance to
victims, including evaluating the effectiveness of funded projects.''
OVW anticipates issuing grant awards under this initiative in FY 2024,
supporting flexible financial assistance programming. The planned data
collection is a short, optional survey that grant recipients under the
Financial Assistance Program will make available to victims who receive
flexible financial assistance. Grantees will include aggregated survey
results in their twice-annual performance reports submitted to OVW.
These data will be used to inform future programming and share
information to stakeholders, including Congress, about the
effectiveness of OVW-funded financial assistance for victims.
