VOCA Funding Factsheets by Colorado County and Statewide
In an effort to illustrate how Federal VOCA cuts might impact various programs and counties within the state, the OVP staff have created one page factsheets that provide data on the current programs funded by county, the number of victims served, the number of services provided, and the top three reported victimizations. There is also an information sheet for those agencies that provide statewide services. If you have any questions regarding VOCA or the information sheets you can contact OVP staff at cvsgrants@state.co.us.
