Selected Program Increases by Strategic Goal    
     
Strategic Goal Three: Assist State, Local, and Tribal Efforts to Prevent or Reduce Crime and Violence:    
     

1. Legal Assistance to Victims Program

OVW requests a total increase of $7,055,000 for additional discretionary grants to provide legal assistance to victims (LAV) of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking by increasing access to direct legal services in a wide range of legal matters relating to their violent victimization in States, the District of Columbia, Tribes, and territories. The additional LAV grants will provide legal assistance to more than 12,000 additional victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking. Additional funding will also allow the Department to narrow somewhat the current gap that exists between the large number of eligible grant applications received each year and the funding available for grant awards.

OFFICE ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
OJP-Administered Victims of Child Abuse Programs

Office of Justice Programs (OJP) - Administered Victims of Child Abuse Grant Programs Previously Appropriated to the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW):

The 2007 President's Budget continues to the practice of requesting that victims of child abuse grant programs administered by OJP be appropriated in the OJP appropriation account and not in the OVW appropriation account. In FY 2006, funds for these grant programs were appropriated to OVW. Since OJP actually administers these victims of child abuse grant programs, funds must be moved from one office to another which creates unnecessary delays in awarding grants as well as additional administrative and accounting costs.

Therefore, the 2007 President's Budget proposes a permanent transfer of base resources for victims of child abuse grant programs from OVW to OJP. As shown in the table below, the total FY 2007 Budget Request for these programs (within the OJP Budget) is $926,000 lower than the FY 2006 Enacted level with rescissions. While the transfer results in a significantly lower FY 2007 OVW Budget Request when compared with the FY 2006 Enacted level for OVW, these victims of child abuse grant programs are funded at only a slightly reduced level in the FY 2007 OJP Budget Request.
