Abstract:
TVAP and Aspire are funded by the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) to provide time-limited comprehensive case management services to individuals who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking, including adults (TVAP) and children (Aspire). The programs also aim to (1) develop and maintain a nationwide network of providers to conduct human trafficking outreach and provide direct services and community referrals, and (2) establish local regional presence within each of the ACF geographic regions to coordinate project activities and direct services. TVAP has undergone several changes in the past few years, shifting to a regional administration model and separating services for minors into a separate program called Aspire. The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), in collaboration with OTIP, is overseeing a process evaluation of the TVAP and Aspire programs. This proposed data collection will be the first evaluation of the TVAP and Aspire programs to understand its administration and implementation and its impact on thousands of individuals. The proposed data collection includes interviews and a survey to document and examine the key characteristics and implementation of the programs, including the challenges, strengths, and successes.
