SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as
amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to
establish a program to assist United States citizens and lawful
permanent residents who are victims of severe forms of trafficking (22
U.S.C. 7105(f)). OTIP will award cooperative agreements to implement
the DVHT program, which will include: (1) The Domestic Victims of Human
Trafficking and Services Outreach Program, (2) Demonstration Grants to
Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native
Communities Program, and (3) the Strengthen the Health Care Response
for Victims of Human Trafficking Program. Through the DVHT program,
grantees will provide comprehensive case management to domestic
survivors of severe forms of human trafficking in a traditional case
management, Native community, or health care setting. The intent of the
program is to connect survivors with the services they need to improve
their lives and health outcomes.
OTIP proposes to collect information to measure grant project
performance, provide technical assistance to grantees, assess program
outcomes, improve program evaluation, respond to congressional
inquiries and mandated reports, and inform policy and program
development that is responsive to the needs of victims.
The information collection captures information on participant
demographics (e.g., age, sex, and country of origin); types of
trafficking experienced (e.g., sex, labor, or both); types of
enrollment; types of services requested and provided, along with their
cost; barriers to service delivery; subrecipients enrolled into the
grantee's network; victim outreach activities; and the types of
training provided to subrecipient organizations or other partners.
Respondents: Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking and Services
Outreach Program grantees, Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the
Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities Program
grantees, and the Strengthen the Health Care Response for Victims of
Human Trafficking Program grantees.
