ThePresident's proposed budget seriously jeopardizes the future funding mechanismof the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Crime Victims Fund. The Fund was enacted to pay for victims'services and compensations. It operateswith money collected from criminal offenders, not taxpayers. Once collected, the funding is distributed tovictims and organizations that provide victims' services. There are approximately 4,400 agencies thatdepend upon the victim assistance funds to provide direct services to 3.6million crime victims a year.
