    Summary

    The Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant Program (SASP Formula Grant Program) directs grant dollars to States and Territories to assist them in supporting rape crisis centers and other nonprofit, nongovernment organizations that provide core services, direct intervention and related assistance to victims of sexual assault. Rape crisis centers and other nonprofit organizations, such as dual programs providing both domestic violence and sexual violence intervention services, play a vital role in assisting sexual assault victims through the healing process, as well as assisting victims through the medical, criminal justice and other support systems. Funds provided through the SASP Formula Grant Program are designed to supplement other funding sources directed at addressing sexual assault on the State and Territorial level. 


    Eligible Program Areas: The SASP Program strongly encourages projects that:

    • 24-hour hotline services providing crisis intervention services and referral.
    • Accompaniment and advocacy through medical, criminal justice, and social support systems, including medical facilities, police, and court proceedings.
    • Crisis intervention, short-term individual and group support services, and comprehensive service coordination and supervision to assist sexual assault victims and family or household members.
    • Information and referral to assist the sexual assault victim and family or household members.
    • Community-based, culturally specific services and support mechanisms, including outreach activities for underserved communities.
    • Development and distribution of materials on issues related to the services described above.
