Abstract: The Grants to Enhance Culturally Specific Services for
Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and
Stalking Program (Culturally Specific Services Program) supports
culturally specific community-based organizations in addressing the
critical needs of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence,
and stalking victims in a manner that affirms a victim's culture.
Advocates report that survivors are more inclined to seek services from
organizations that are familiar with their culture, language, and
background and that there is no ``one size fits all'' approach to
adequately address these critical needs. Culturally specific community-
based organizations are more likely to understand the complex, multi-
layered challenges and obstacles that victims from their communities
face when attempting to access services. Eligible applicants are
limited to: private nonprofit organizations for which the primary
purpose of the organization as a whole is to provide culturally
specific services to American Indians (including Alaska Natives,
Eskimos, and Aleuts), Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other
Pacific Islanders, Blacks, or Hispanics. This program is authorized by
34 U.S.C. 20124.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Semiannual Progress Report for the
Grants to Enhance Culturally Specific Services for Victims of Sexual
Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
0021. U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The Grants to Enhance Culturally Specific
Services for Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating
Violence, and Stalking Program (Culturally Specific Services Program)
supports culturally specific community-based organizations in
addressing the critical needs of sexual assault, domestic violence,
dating violence, and stalking victims in a culturally specific manner.
Eligible applicants are limited to: private nonprofit organizations for
which the primary purpose of the organization as a whole is to provide
culturally specific services to American Indians (including Alaska
Natives, Eskimos, and Aleuts), Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and
other Pacific Islanders, Blacks, or Hispanics. This program is
authorized by 34 U.S.C. 20124.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: The affected
public includes the approximately 50 grantees of the Culturally
Specific Services Program. The program funds projects that promote the
maintenance and replication of existing successful domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking community-based programs
providing culturally specific services. It is estimated that it will
take the approximately 50 respondents (Culturally Specific Services
Program grantees) approximately one hour to complete a semi-annual
progress report. The semi-annual progress report is divided into
sections that pertain to the different types of activities in which
grantees may engage. A Culturally Specific Services Program grantee
will only be required to complete the sections of the form that pertain
to its own specific activities.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total semiannual hour burden to complete the
data collection form is 100 hours, that is 50 grantees completing a
form twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being
one hour.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: The annualized costs to the Federal
Government resulting from the OVW staff review of the progress reports
submitted by grantees are estimated to be $5,600.
