IS THE NUMBER OF CASES/NUMBER OF VICTIMS SERVED, CUMULATIVE FROM THE BEGINNING OF MY LAV GRANT, OR JUST FOR CASES WORKED ON DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
No. Victim/survivors included in item 19 (victims served) should be those to whom you provided services with LAV grant funds during the current reporting period only. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO SOMEONE BECAUSE SHE IS OVER-INCOME, DO WE COUNT THAT PERSON AS “NOT SERVED,” OR DO WE NOT COUNT THAT PERSON AT ALL, SINCE WE ARE ONLY FUNDED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO VICTIMS WHO MEET CERTAIN ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES? This is a matter you should discuss with your Program Specialist at OVW. Under the statute, you are not supposed to deny services to victims based on income. However, if your Program Specialist at OVW agrees that you do not have to serve over-income victims/survivors, or if your grant specifies that you will only serve low-income victims, then you would not count victims/survivors who were over-income as not served—you would not count them at all.
