    Abstract: Authorized by 34 U.S.C. 12511(e), Violence Against Women 
Act of 2005, Sexual Assault Services Program. The Sexual Assault 
Services Program (SASP), created by the Violence Against Women Act of 
2005 (VAWA 2005), is the first federal funding stream solely dedicated 
to the provision of direct intervention and related assistance for 
victims of sexual assault. The SASP encompasses four different funding 
streams for States and Territories, Tribes, State Sexual Assault 
Coalitions, Tribal Coalitions, and culturally specific organizations. 
Overall, the purpose of SASP is to provide intervention, advocacy, 
accompaniment, support services, and related assistance for adult, 
youth, and child victims of sexual assault, family and household 
members of victims, and those collaterally affected by the sexual 
assault. The Tribal SASP supports efforts to help survivors heal from 
sexual assault trauma through direct intervention and related 
assistance from social service organizations such as rape crisis 
centers through 24-hour sexual assault hotlines, crisis intervention, 
and medical and criminal justice accompaniment. The Tribal SASP will 
support such services through the establishment, maintenance, and 
expansion of rape crisis centers and other programs and projects to 
assist those victimized by sexual assault.
