RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE, the District Attorney, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Victims of Crime, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, to develop and expand a multidisciplinary task force that will provide a diverse set of appropriate services for trafficking victims for a period of three (3) years from the date of the grant award.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If awarded, the County may receive up to $750,000. This opportunity requires a 30% in-kind match, which will be met by existing prosecution and/or investigative efforts.











BACKGROUND:

This grant funding is to be used to enhance the quality and quantity of services available to assist victims of human trafficking through interagency collaboration and the coordinated community response to victims of human trafficking, and through the provision of high quality services that address the individual needs of victims. Funding will support the a Human Trafficking Task Force and comprehensive services for all victims of human trafficking. In addition, funding will increase the capacity of communities to respond to human trafficking victims through the development of interagency partnerships, professional training, and public awareness activities.   

The Office of the District Attorney will work in collaboration with the Alliance to End Abuse to provide a connected network of service providers to support the law enforcement and prosecution efforts of the human trafficking task force.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, the goal of providing the broadest range of services and resources for victims and the most coordinated range of investigation and prosecution options in response to the perpetrators of human trafficking will not be accomplished.
