MoVA OUTREACH SERVICES PROJECT

In 1997, MoVA established the "MoVA Outreach Services Project" with the assistance of funding from the State Services to Victims Fund, administered through the Missouri Department of Public Safety. The primary focus of this project is to offer assistance to rural underserved counties in Missouri as they seek to establish or enhance victim advocacy services. To date, MoVA has provided training to programs or designated contact persons in nearly forty Missouri counties, and worked with at least twenty-six counties in starting or enhancing victim service programs.
