Abstract:
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand benefits and services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States (U.S.), without regard to their immigration status. The TVPA also authorizes HHS to establish and strengthen programs to assist United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced sex trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons (22 U.S.C. § 7105(f)(1)). Acting under a delegation of authority from the Secretary of HHS, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awards cooperative agreements to organizations to establish a program to assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced human trafficking, the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The DVHT Program currently consists of two distinct programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Services and Outreach Program (DVHT-SO), and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities Program (VHT-NC). Through the DVHT Program, grant recipients provide comprehensive case management to domestic survivors of human trafficking in traditional case management and Native community settings. This is an existing collection that is necessary to measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional inquiries and mandated reports, and inform policy and program development that is responsive to the needs of victims. Information from this collection also enables OTIP to fulfill a provision in the TVPA of 2000, as amended, that requires the Attorney General to submit annually “a report on Federal agencies that are implementing any provision of this chapter” (22 U.S.C. § 7103(d)) and to prepare a required annual report to Congress on U.S. Government activities to combat trafficking that is prepared by the U.S. Department of Justice. Congress requires HHS and other appropriate Federal agencies to report, at a minimum, information on the number of persons who received benefits or other services under 22 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(f), in connection with programs or activities funded or administered by HHS. Minor, nonsubstantive updates have been made to performance indicators under this collection to simplify response options and to bring the collection into alignment with OTIP’s grant recipient reporting database, the Anti-Trafficking Information Management System (ATIMS). Additionally, certain response options that do not pertain to OTIP's domestic victim service programs were removed. Additionally, based on review of performance data received, specifically the average number of clients served by funded recipients over the last four years, burden estimates for this collection have been reduced. See sections A8 and A15 for additional details about proposed changes.
