Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Administration

Arizona System for Administering Grants Effectively (SAGE)

In 1984, the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) established the Crime Victims Fund in the US Treasury and authorized the fund to receive deposits of fines and penalties levied against criminals convicted of federal crimes. This fund provides the source of funding for carrying out all of the activities authorized by VOCA for the award of crime victim compensation and crime victim assistance funds to the states.

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is the designated administrator of Arizona’s VOCA Assistance Program. DPS supports and promotes quality services for crime victims by partnering with local agencies throughout Arizona that perform the essential work of victim assistance. Nonprofit and government agencies that provide direct services to crime victims may be eligible to receive VOCA grant funds. For more information regarding eligibility, allowable costs, and grant requirements, refer to the DPS-VOCA Guidelines (see Useful Links section below).
