8 VOCA Reporting Requirements Sections of the Quarterly Report I. Population Demographics II. Direct Services III. Measureable Outcomes IV. Sub-Grantee Annually Reported Outcomes

9 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections I.1 Total number of individuals who received services during the reporting period. INSTRUCTIONS: Count all individuals served by your organization with the use of VOCA plus match funds during the reporting period. This number should be an unduplicated count of people served during a single reporting period, regardless of the number of services they received or victimization types with which they presented. *NOTE: There is no longer a distinction between Primary and Secondary victims.

10 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections I.2 – Is your agency able to track individuals throughout the Federal fiscal year? INSTRUCTIONS: Answer “yes” to this question if, during each quarter and from one quarter to the next throughout the Federal fiscal year, you will be able to identify individuals as either new or continuing since Quarter IF “No”…then…

11 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections I.3 – Is your agency able to identify “new” individuals who did not receive services from your agency during the previous reporting period? INSTRUCTIONS: Answer “yes” to this question if your organization is able to track clients from one reporting period to the next, even though you cannot track clients from the beginning to the end of the Federal fiscal year. IF “No”…then why? “Not Tracked” means that your organization is unable to submit this data as requested due to the need to change the data collection process, and efforts are underway to track the data as requested. “No, Other Reason” provides an opportunity to indicate a different reason that your agency is unable to track individuals over time (e.g., you operate an anonymous hotline that does not allow for the collection of client information). Explanation (required)

12 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections I.4 – Number of NEW individuals who received services from your agency for the first time during the reporting period INSTRUCTIONS: Report the number of NEW individuals served by your organization with the use of VOCA plus match funds for the first time during the reporting period. This number should be an unduplicated count of NEW clients served during a single reporting period, regardless of the number of services they received or victimization types with which they presented. If your organization can only track clients from one reporting period to the next, and not from the beginning to the end of the Federal fiscal year, report the number of “new” clients who did not receive services during the previous reporting period.

13 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections I.5 – Demographics (for NEW individuals identified in Question 4) INSTRUCTIONS: Count each NEW individual in only one race/ethnicity type as self-reported. Individuals who self- report in more than one race and/or ethnicity category should be counted in the “Multiple Races” category. The total number of individuals in each demographic category should equal the number of NEW individuals reported in Question 4. This data is used for statistical purposes to comply with Federal regulations. If no data is collected for a category, enter the number of new individuals as Not Tracked or Not Reported. “Not Reported” represents that the sub-grantee collects this data, but it was not provided or indicated by the person completing the intake form. “Not Tracked” represents that the sub-grantee is unable to submit this data as requested in the PMT due to the need to change the data collection system. Efforts are underway to track data as requested. The value of “0” represents a true value of zero.

14 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections Example: Race/Ethnicity

15 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections I. 6 – Types of Victimizations (for ALL individuals identified in Question 1) If no data is collected for a category, enter the number of new individuals as Not Tracked or Not Reported.

Simply providing an individual with an application does NOT qualify as assistance.

19 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections II.8 – Select the types of services provided by your organization during the reporting period: INSTRUCTIONS: Your selections must match those made in Question 9, “Use of VOCA and Match Funds,” of your Sub- grant Award Report (SAR). A. Information & Referral B. Personal Advocacy/Accompaniment C. Emotional Support or Safety Services D. Shelter/Housing Services E. Criminal/Civil Justice System Assistance

20 VOCA Reporting Requirements Review of Report Sections II.9 – Total number of individuals who received services by service type AND number of times each service was provided during the reporting period INSTRUCTIONS: For each category (items A, B, C, D, and E) selected in Question 8, enter the number of clients who received services from your agency during the reporting period. For each subcategory within a category (e.g., items A1, A2, A3, and A4), enter the number of times that service was provided during the reporting period. Zero is a valid response. Because some clients may receive multiple services, the total number of times that services were provided within a category may be greater than the number of clients who received those services.
