Title: Program Progress Report (PPR).
OMB No:
Description: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) in collaboration with the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) will award approximately 12 cooperative agreements to implement the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The DVHT Program is focused on providing comprehensive case management services to domestic victims of severe forms of trafficking to ensure the provision of services with an emphasis on long-term housing, substance abuse treatment, and the integration of survivor-led services.
The intent of this program is to build, expand, and sustain organizational and community capacity to deliver trauma-informed, strength-based, and victim-centered services for domestic victims of human trafficking through coordinated case management, a system of agency services, and community partnerships. The DVHT Program encourages innovative practices and collaboration efforts among community stakeholders to ensure long-term outcomes for domestic victims of severe forms of trafficking.
The Program Progress Report (PPR) aims to measure the progress of the DVHT programs. Grantees are not required to conduct surveys. They will be collecting non-identical information on specific elements as part of their program requirements. The PPR data is intended to be used only to learn about: a) program implementation, b) effectiveness of programs, and c) to ensure programs are meeting goals/objectives as required by funding opportunity announcement. The PPR will be submitted by grantees every 6 months.
Respondents: 12 grantees.
