C.F.R. Part 54, which relates to nondiscrimination on the basis of sex in certain
"education programs."
24.Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and
nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 38
The Subrecipient must comply with all applicable requirements of 28
C.F.R. Part 38 (as may be applicable from time to time), specifically including
any applicable requirements regarding written notice to program beneficiaries
and prospective program beneficiaries.
Currently, among other things, 28 C.F.R. Part 38 includes rules that prohibit
specific forms of discrimination on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a
refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to attend or participate in a religious
practice. Part 38, currently, also sets out rules and requirements that pertain to
Certification of Assurance of Compliance – VOCA Cal OES 2-104f (Rev. 4/2020) 12
Subrecipient organizations that engage in or conduct explicitly religious
activities, as well as rules and requirements that pertain to Subrecipients and
Subrecipients that are faith-based or religious organizations.
The text of 28 C.F.R. Part 38 is available via the Electronic Code of Federal
Regulations (currently accessible at https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-
bin/ECFR?page=browse), by browsing to Title 28-Judicial Administration,
Chapter 1, Part 38, under e-CFR "current" data.
25.Restrictions on “Lobbying”
In general, as a matter of federal law, federal funds awarded by OJP may not
be used by the Subrecipient, either directly or indirectly, to support or oppose
the enactment, repeal, modification, or adoption of any law, regulation, or
policy, at any level of government. See 18 U.S.C. 1913. (There may be
exceptions if an applicable federal statute specifically authorizes certain
activities that otherwise would be barred by law.)
Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OJP from
being used by the Subrecipient to pay any person to influence (or attempt to
influence) a federal agency, a Member of Congress, or Congress (or an official
or employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of a federal grant or
cooperative agreement, Subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan, or with
respect to actions such as renewing, extending, or modifying any such award.
See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this law apply, including an exception
that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a
Subrecipient would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the
Subrecipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the
express prior written approval of OJP.
26.Subgrant Award Report (SAR)
The Subrecipient must submit a SAR to OVC for each Subrecipient of the VOCA
victim assistance funds, within ninety (90) days of awarding funds to the
Subrecipient. Subrecipients must submit this information through the automated
system.
27.Effect of Failure to Address Audit Issues
The Subrecipient understands and agrees that the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or
OVW, as appropriate) may withhold award funds, or may impose other related
requirements, if (as determined by the DOJ awarding agency) the Subrecipient
does not satisfactorily and promptly address outstanding issues from audits required
by the Part 200 Uniform Requirements (or by the terms of this award), or other
Certification of Assurance of Compliance – VOCA Cal OES 2-104f (Rev. 4/2020) 13
outstanding issues that arise in connection with audits, investigations, or reviews of
DOJ awards.
28.Additional DOJ Awarding Agency Requirements
The Subrecipient agrees to comply with any additional requirements that may be
imposed by the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) during the
period of performance for this award, if the Subrecipient is designated as "high- risk"
for purposes of the DOJ high-risk grantee list.
29.Hiring Documents
The Subrecipient must keep, maintain, and preserve all documentation (such as
Form I-9s or equivalents) regarding the eligibility of employees hired using the funds.
All appropriate documentation must be maintained on file by the project and available for
Cal OES or public scrutiny upon request. Failure to comply with these requirements may
result in suspension of payments under the grant or termination of the grant or both and the
Subrecipient may be ineligible for Subaward of any future grants if the Cal OES determines
that any of the following has occurred: (1) the Subrecipient has made false certification, or
(2) violates the certification by failing to carry out the requirements as noted above.

Project Narrative
Problem Statement
1. A description of your County’s demographics.
Fresno County is the sixth largest of 58 California counties covering 6,017
square miles and offering both rural and urban lifestyles in a variety of
landscapes. According to the California Department of Finance, Fresno is the
tenth most populated county with 1,007,299 residents. 65% of the County's
population resides near the center of the county in the densely populated,
adjoining cities of Fresno and Clovis. This balance resides in suburban, rural and
agricultural areas of Fresno County, which include multiple cities and towns.
Fresno County’s population increased by 10.4%, nearly twice the statewide
growth rate of 5.6% from 2005-2015. Fresno County is home to numerous distinct
cultural groups with an extensive diversity in languages and customs. The U.S.
Census Bureau reports the population by race in Fresno County is 64% white, 5%
African American, 1.1% American Indian and Alaska Native, 10% Asian, .2%
Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 15.5% other race, and 4% two or
more races; 52.7 % of the population is Hispanic; 44.8% speak a language other
than English at home; and the poverty rate is 24.1%.
Known as the agricultural capital of the world, according to the Fresno
Convention & Visitors Bureau, Fresno County is home to 1.88 million acres of the
world’s most productive farmland

2. A description of the crime types and victim demographic information that
the agencies receiving XC funding serve.
The Fresno County James Rowland Crime Victim Assistance Center
(CVAC) has been part of the community since 1975. Prior to that time, crime
victims received no assistance from public or private social work or criminal
justice agencies to ease their recovery from crime or to meet necessities arising
from victimization. Victims were not able to obtain critical information regarding
court processes or referral services, nor did they receive attention and guidance
in coping with the stresses created by the criminal justice experience. In 1975,
under Chief Probation Officer James Rowland, the Fresno County Board of
Supervisors designated the Probation Department as the agency to fill this gap
in services. Fresno County Probation Department became the first Probation
Department in California to establish such a center. Funding through the
California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) made this possible.
CVAC provides victims of all types of crime with comprehensive services,
including the fourteen mandatory and all ten optional services delineated in
Section 13835 of the California Penal Code. In 2019, CVAC provided services to
7,728 new victims of crime. Service locations have expanded over the years
from a single office to three separate locations. This growth was achieved
through extended community outreach and our working relationships with
agencies providing services to local crime victims. Outreach to rural
populations and inter-agency collaboration has built a solid foundation for
Subrecipient: Fresno County Subaward #: XC 20 03 0100
Project Narrative – Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 3/2019)
3
providing quality services to victims of crime in Fresno County. From the
beginning, CVAC has developed, nurtured, and expanded relationships with
agencies that serve victims including: the District Attorney’s Office, local Law
Enforcement agencies, women’s shelters, rape counseling programs, medical
providers, and Human Services agencies. These efforts have improved access to
services and developed strategies to identify, refer, and address the on-going
needs of victims and witnesses of all types of crime, resulting in no limitation of
services to specific crime types. Operational Agreements, interagency
roundtable committees, interagency cross-training, and monthly meetings to
coordinate services strengthen these relationships while maintaining the
professional standards of this agency. CVAC provides media and educational
campaigns, trainings for new service providers, and community outreach in a
concerted public education effort. Public awareness of the impact of crime on
victims and of services available to victims through this program is vital to
reaching those who need it most.
In 2019, those served by CVAC were 56.78 % Hispanic, 18.46 % white,
13.45% African American, 4.2% Asian American, and 6.48% unknown race. 932
victims served were from rural areas.
The highest crime types of all victims served were domestic violence
(56%), child sexual abuse (11%), assault (11%), and homicide (9%).
3. A description of the nature and extent of your victim services gaps/needs
affecting your County.
Subrecipient: Fresno County Subaward #: XC 20 03 0100
Project Narrative – Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 3/2019)
4
The Fresno County Victims Services Steering Committee (VSSC) reconvened on
September 10, 2020, to identify the County’s victim services/gaps needs. VSCC
determined the victim services gaps/needs affecting Fresno County remain the
same as originally identified by VSCC in 2016. Priority for funding continues to be
enhancing services to crime victims in the rural communities of Fresno County
through more efficient and effective services including immediate and
extended (emergency) housing and transportation.
4. The anticipated impact of this funding in addressing your gaps/needs.
The focus will have an immediate impact in terms of providing more
efficient, effective, and valuable services and be an important step in
minimizing harm to all crime victims.
Plan
1. The victim services gaps/needs identified by the VSCC.
• Gap Number 1: Services to Rural Crime Victims
VSCC has prioritized continuing services to rural communities. Some areas of
Fresno County are located an hour from the City of Fresno where the majority of
social services and justice programs are located. Enhanced services to rural
communities and towns will allow victim advocates to facilitate mandated and
optional services pursuant to PC Section 13835 and provide more efficient
processing of CalVCB applications and services.
CVAC will partner with community agencies situated in rural areas of the County
to serve victims of violent crime in those rural locations, through
Subrecipient: Fresno County Subaward #: XC 20 03 0100
Project Narrative – Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 3/2019)
5
videoconferencing. This will allow victims in rural areas to contact CVAC,
schedule teleconferencing appointments from a location more accessible to
them and fill out the State of California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB)
applications. The staff of the community agency will assist victims to
videoconference with CVAC. The CalVCB application in PDF format can be
completed jointly and will include an electronic signature pad. Other needs can
also be directly addressed.
The Fresno County Superior Court, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is
conducting remote videoconferencing in the two dedicated felony domestic
violence courts. Victims, especially in domestic violence hearings, are fearful of
attending court proceedings to obtain information regarding case status,
restraining orders, criminal justice process and disposition. Establishing
teleconferencing between the court and CVAC will provide victims a safe and
secure location to observe Court proceedings. It is anticipated that these
processes could be expanded to include victims giving their Victim Impact
Statements. Since security is of paramount importance and the need to launch
remote videoconferencing that will be effective and sustainable, a period of
planning and implementation is needed to allow enough time to identify and
address all aspects of operations. These include delineating roles and
responsibilities collaboratively with the remote host sites, developing safety and
operation plans, executing memoranda of understanding, testing the process,
planning and conducting outreach and launching remote video services.

Project Narrative – Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 3/2019)

• Gap Number 2: Immediate and Extended (Emergency) Housing
The Steering Committee has prioritized the continued need for immediate
and extended, emergency housing for victims of domestic violence, sexual
assault and human trafficking.
Many times, victims lose their homes and possessions as a result of a crime. The
Criminal Justice System may be an extended process with victims requiring
immediate emergency housing assistance, until a more permanent solution can
be achieved. Through current XC grant funds, CVAC has developed a housing
network throughout the county that allows for victims to be accommodated for
up to 90 days, while permanent plans can be developed and implemented in
conjunction with our community-based partners. CVAC has developed and
implemented a comprehensive emergency housing process to accommodate
the needs of crime victims who are without shelter or in need of relocation.
In addition, CVAC has established a referral process with three, after hour crisis
service providers in the community that assists victims of domestic violence,
sexual assault, and human trafficking. Should those crisis service providers be
unable to assist with the victims’ immediate emergency housing and/or
transportation need, they refer the victim to CVAC, requesting assistance.
• Gap Number 3: Accessible Victim Transportation
The Steering Committee has also prioritized the continued need for accessible
transportation for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human
Subrecipient: Fresno County Subaward #: XC 20 03 0100
Project Narrative – Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 3/2019)
7
trafficking. Transportation is a high priority in terms of safety and security for
victims.
Through current XC grant funds, CVAC has developed transportation options
consisting of taxicab services, local public transportation bus passes, as well as
utilizing gas gift cards for crime victims residing in both metropolitan and rural
areas of Fresno County. This varied approach allows for more options for those in
need than previously available.
2. The plan to address the identified victim services gaps/needs (plan must
include measurable objectives)
Goal 1: Enhanced services for victims in rural communities and towns to allow
Victim Advocates to facilitate mandated and optional services pursuant to PC
Section 13835 and allow for more efficient processing of CalVCB applications
and services.
Objectives:

3. The name of the county agency selected to administer the XC Grant
Subaward and acts as the single point of contact for the grant. The agency
selected must be a county victim services provider that provides direct services
to victims.
The Fresno County Probation Department will administer the XC Grant.
Subrecipient: Fresno County Subaward #: XC 20 03 0100

4. The plan should address how the county agency selected to administer the
XC Grant Subaward will use volunteer as part of meeting grant objectives. Use
of volunteer is a VOCA funding requirement.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, use of volunteers is currently not allowed
by the Fresno County Probation Department. When able to, will be a priority
once again to develop volunteer services to assist the identified population.
With the Fresno State University Criminology Program, which includes a
certificate in Victimology, it is felt that the practical skills these students would
need could be learned at the center. In addition, there is strong interest at the
Clovis City College and Fresno City College level to participate in volunteerism
with crime victims. Volunteers document the hours for each shift worked on the
Volunteer Log, which is signed by the supervising Victim/Witness Advocate and
maintained for audit purposes. Typical duties of a volunteer include:
transportation of police reports from law enforcement to the Victim/Witness
Advocate, reception duties, initial phone contact with new victims, assisting the
Victim/Witness Advocate with completing the Victim Compensation Application
process, assisting at community presentations and events, court support, and
other duties depending on the training and personal abilities of each volunteer.
All staff and volunteers are trained to provide culturally sensitive intervention and
prevention services and are dedicated to meeting client needs.
5. Distribution of funds
The Probation Department proposes three (3) FTE permanent Victim
Subrecipient: Fresno County Subaward #: XC 20 03 0100
Project Narrative – Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 3/2019)
11
Advocates which are included in the proposed salaries and benefits. Salaries
are projected at actual Range and Step and are subject to mid-year
adjustments for position incumbents.
The Victim/Witness Advocate position will provide case management
services as well as the thirteen mandatory and all ten optional services outlined
in Penal Code Section 13835 to the identified population of this grant. In
addition, the advocates will provide training to law enforcement agencies
within Fresno County regarding the available services provided by this grant and
how to access these services. These services, which are also provided to victim
family members and witnesses of crimes, include advising participants of
program services and outreach activities; referring program participants to
professional care providers; explaining the process of the criminal justice system;
accompanying victims, family members, and witnesses to court and related
hearings; and assisting participants with claim applications. Sixty semester units
of academic work from one or more of the following disciplines: psychology,
sociology, criminology or a related field is required for this position.
All too often, persons who suffer losses because of criminal activity also
incur a financial loss. In many of these instances, the necessary documentation
is not available at the time of sentencing and the Court will order restitution as
“To Be Determined”; in addition, follow up with victims where the offenders
placed on Probation Supervision is rare. The one (1) FTE permanent Deputy
Probation Officer IV (DPO IV) position will assume the responsibility in conducting
Subrecipient: Fresno County Subaward #: XC 20 03 0100
Project Narrative – Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 3/2019)
12
follow-ups with identified victims. The DPO IV will review the orders of the court,
the offender’s case file, serve as a liaison with the District Attorney’s office, and
communicate with assigned probation officer and guide the victim through the
court process regarding matters of restitution. This position will be specific to the
XC Grant program.
The grant application requires costs for transportation services,
emergency housing (including emergency essentials such as food, hygiene
items, etc.) and a contract for remote location for teleconferencing in order for
victims in rural areas to teleconference to the CVAC in order to complete the
State of California Victim Compensation Program (CalVCP) application and set
appointments at a location near where the victim resides. It will also allow for
victims to observe court proceedings at the CVAC and watch in a safe and
secure place. The budgeted costs for these services have been listed in the
operating budget. The operations budget also includes funding for office
expenses such printer, postage and gas cards for clients. Training for
Victim/Witness Advocate position is also included in the operating budget.
The cost for an Information Technology programmer/consultant to
enhance the data management system with information relating to victims of
crime is also included in this operations budget. This will ensure relevant and
comprehensive information is available when needed to address victims’
service needs and complete statistical reports.
