The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 authorizes formula grants to states to fund projects in an effort to foster a more widespread apprehension, prosecution, and adjudication of persons committing violent crimes against women through the criminal justice system.
In accordance with federal statute, the state must allocate at least 25 percent of the VAWA funds to law enforcement, 25 percent to prosecution, 30 percent to victim services, 5 percent to courts, with the remaining 15 percent being discretionary.
Projects selected for funding must advance Oregon´s Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Implementation Plan. The Implementation Plan is developed yearly as part of the state´s application for VAWA funds. The Implementation Plan assesses Oregon´s domestic violence and sexual assault problems, identified resource needs, and establishes measurable outcome-based strategies focused at advancing both the Implementation Plan and the Oregon Benchmarks. In addition to meeting the priorities established in the Implementation Plan, to be eligible for funding under the Act, projects must fall within one of 11 Eligible Purpose Areas established by Congress.
