Synopsis

This funding opportunity seeks to reduce sexual assault and violent crime, hold violent offenders accountable, and deliver support and justice for victims resulting from significant backlogs of unsubmitted and partially tested sexual assault kits (SAKs). Funding will provide resources and support to criminal justice agencies in their efforts to improve their jurisdictional response to sexually motivated crimes.
