8.3 17-0707
Joint resolution authorizing the application, award and the renewal of an interagency agreement with the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Illinois (CACI) to provide federal funding of $224,706.60 for the Children’s Advocacy Center Victim Advocacy Services grant for 12 months and an emergency appropriation of $140,288.25 for an increase in grant funding of $112,230.60 and match funds of $28,057.65 for program costs and an additional Victim Advocate position.
• In 1999 the Children’s Advocacy Center implemented two victim advocate grants, which have been renewed each year, to supplement funding for two victim advocates, one being bilingual. In 2016, both grant programs were combined into one contract. In 2017, the funding period changed to State fiscal year 2018: July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.
• This grant is for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 and funds a portion of the salary and benefits for the two previously funded advocates, plus one new advocate, housed at the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center along with additional program costs.
• 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 funding include federal funds in the amount of $224,706.60 ($38,392.36 for the bilingual program and $87,600 plus $98,714.24 for the other victim advocate programs) and matching funds in the amount of $56,176.65 ($20,627.89 for the bilingual program and $4,978.76 plus $30,570 for the other victim coordinator programs), which is provided by the Children’s Advocacy Center, for salary, benefits and other program costs such as training and supplies.
• The Children’s Advocacy Center provides the required match and any additional salary or benefit costs by reimbursing the State’s Attorney’s Office. No County funding is required for this programming.
