What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The FY 2019 Victims of Child Abuse (VOCA) Regional ChildrenâÂÂs Advocacy Centers (RCAC) Program will support four regional children's advocacy centers, one situated within each of the four U.S. census regions, to: (1) develop multidisciplinary teams, local programs, and state chapter organizations that respond to child abuse and neglect investigation, treatment, intervention, and prosecution; and (2) deliver training and technical assistance that strengthen existing multidisciplinary teams, programs, and state chapter organizations. Funding will enable the RCACs to promote and support widespread, consistent implementation of evidence-based practices and a multidisciplinary approach to child abuse investigations, assessment, intervention, and prosecution, ensuring effective outcomes for child abuse victims and their families.
