    Abstract: The Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant Program (SASP) 
funding is awarded to states and territories. These funds support rape 
crisis centers and other nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations or 
tribal programs that provide services, direct intervention, and related 
assistance to victims of sexual assault and their families. The first 
federal funding stream solely dedicated to the provision of direct 
intervention and related assistance for victims of sexual assault, the 
SASP funds are designed to supplement other funding sources directed at 
addressing sexual assault at the state and territorial level. SASP 
grants support intervention, advocacy, accompaniment, support services, 
and related assistance for adult, youth, and child victims of sexual 
assault, family and household members of victims, and those 
collaterally affected by the sexual assault. The grant funds are 
distributed by SASP state administrators to subgrantees as outlined 
under the provisions of the Violence Against Women Act, 34 U.S.C. 
12511.

Overview of This Information Collection
