VOCA stands for the Victims of Crime Act. The Act is a federal law that provides funds in support of a variety of services and activities that assist victims of crime. Under VOCA, each state and certain U.S. territories and possessions may receive formula grants to support direct victim assistance services. When was VOCA enacted? 1984.
FY 2018. The Administration released its FY 2018 budget proposals on May 23, 2017. The proposed budget contains some significant provisions affecting VOCA and the Crime Victims Fund. While these proposals may have a minimal immediate net impact on the amount of state VOCA assistance grants, the policies, if adopted, will have major long-term adverse implications for VOCA-funded victim services.
