Mission

The mission of the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants (OVSJG) is to develop, fund, and coordinate programs that improve public safety; enhance the administration of justice; and create systems of care for crime victims, youth, and their families in the District.

Funding Principles

Grant awards will be consistent with the Mayor’s priorities and federal funding purposes and requirements.

OVSJG prioritizes funding that falls within a continuum of services, i.e. each grant applicant has a responsibility to work with other funded programs to best serve the needs of the client.

Funded programs will have objective, concrete, measurable outcomes; include formal procedures for evaluating progress towards those outcomes; and exhibit a commitment to continuously improve the program.

OVSJG funding will be primarily used to support existing programs; as a resource to launch or spark creative initiatives, policies and practices; promote capacity building and system reform efforts; and assist the District in funding statutorily required programs.

Funding Principles

OVSJG will concentrate funding on agencies and organizations that are responsible administrators of awarded funds and comply fully with:

• OVSJG programmatic and financial requirements

• Local and federal laws and requirements

OVSJG will seek to ensure that every funded initiative achieves outcomes that improve the District's justice system, strengthen services for crime victims, reduce truancy and juvenile delinquency, and give returning citizens increased opportunities to lead successful lives.

CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS

District FY21 Budget

Guiding principles

Maintain core government functions that focus on the health, well-being, and safety of DC residents and businesses

Maximize resources available for the immediate public health response to COVID-19

Maximize resources available for those in our community hardest hit by the COVID-19 public health emergency

FY21 OVSJG Funding

Priority given to maintaining core services.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit applications only for activities and expenditures essential to providing the proposed services.

The District Anti-Deficiency Act of 2002, effective April 4, 2003 (D.C. Law 14-285; D.C. Official Code § 47-355.01 et seq.), is intended to prevent overspending by District agencies.

It sets forth reporting requirements to alert District officials to potential overspending so that remedial actions may be taken.

District Agencies may not make or authorize an expenditure or obligation exceeding an amount available in an appropriation for an agency or fund or obligate the District for the payment of money before an appropriation is made.

Anti-Deficiency Act

Show Up, Stand Out ConsolidatedCommunity-based Organization (CBO)

Objective – The program objective is to reduce unexcused absences by mitigating barriers to school attendance of children and their families with three or more unexcused absences prior to escalation to Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) and court referral. Community-based organizations are partnered with schools to provide wraparound services that assist children and their families in addressing the practical, behavioral, financial, and health challenges that prevent them from attending school.

In FY21, OVSJG’s Request for Applications (RFA) is for programs centered on addressing truancy in elementary and middle schools for the District’s most prominent truancy reduction program, Show Up, Stand Out (SUSO). Eligible applicants can choose to take the lead in monitoring both family and youth engagement models but are not required to also serve middle schools.
