Joint resolution authorizing an amendment for a three month extension of the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center’s Victim of Crime Act (VOCA) victim advocate grant program, awarded by the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Illinois (CACI) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, including an increase in grant funding of $110,644.
∙ This CACI VOCA grant extension is to fund a portion of the salary and benefits for three victim advocates housed at the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center along with additional program costs for the performance period of July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021.
∙ In 1999, the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center implemented two victim advocate grants, which have been renewed each year since, to supplement funding for two victim advocates, one being bilingual.
∙ In 2016, both grant programs were combined into one contract, and in 2017, funding for an additional victim advocate position was added.
∙ The victim advocates provide comprehensive, supportive services to child victims and their non-offending family members, throughout the court process.
∙ Program goals include providing advocacy services for child victims of abuse and their non-offending family members, preventing re-victimization of children through education, providing emotional support and maintaining the current staff of victim advocates in order to provide efficient services to abused children.
∙ Sources of increased funding include federal funds in the amount of $110,644 for partial salary and benefits for the victim advocates assigned to the grant program, along with additional program expenses.
∙ The Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center provides any additional salary, fringe benefits or program costs by reimbursing the State’s Attorney’s Office. No County funding is required for this program.
