Part 5. STATEMENT OF NEED
Statement of Need: Please answer the following questions. Responses are limited to 1000 characters.
Minimum 10 point font.
1. Using the information checked under Part 4 - Victims Served and Types of Services, briefly describe the
specific need for VOCA funds or the deficiency of services to victims.
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) received 30,929 calls requiring assistance in 2008,
including 8,367 (CAD) crimes to persons. During the same year, the MPD Victim Advocate Services
Program provided services to 5,075 victims or 59.6%. In order to reach this level of assistance, the
MPD has one full-time Victim Advocate Supervisor and three part-time Victim Advocates, one of
which is VOCA funded. Without VOCA funding, the Victim Advocate Supervisor will need to
assume the responsibility and workload of providing services to the same number of crime
victims reported to the City. This would leave a substantial gap in the services to victims of crime
provided by the MPD. Based on 2008 statistics, 80% of victims of crime in the City of Miami, or
6,812 people would remain without the essential services provided by the Victim Advocate
Services Program.
2. Provide information on crime statistics for the service area.
According to statistics maintained by the MPD Information Technology Support Section, in 2008
the MPD received 321,207 (CAD) calls for service. Among these calls, 63 (CAD) were Homicides,
2,415 (CAD) were Robbery; 3,151 (CAD) were Assault/Batteries; 80 (CAD) Sex Offenses; and 3,594
(CAD) were Domestic Violence cases. In 2008, the MPD faced a total of 8,367 (CAD) person
crimes, and 23,028 (CAD) property crimes.
3. Does a duplicatic
If yes, please
explain.
Page 17
4. Provide information on geographic characteristics of the proposed service area.
This grant will serve the entire 34.5 square miles of the City of Miami. This area is small but
densely populated. The specific needs and characteristics of its residents put a heavy demand on
the limited resources of our City of Miami Police Department. Victim demand for services puts a
heavy burden on public and private service providers to meet their needs efficiently. Practically
all service providers are limited in their resources to provide the best available service to their
victims. While general services are available to all victims, there are significant gaps in some
area. These gaps include, but are not limited to, insufficient shelter space for domestic violence
victims, lack of safe space for sexual battery and disabled victims, scarce attention for mental
health patients, lengthy wait periods for injunctions and other protective orders, and a deficit of
legal agencies to assist in child support, child custody and divorce.
5. Describe the population of the proposed service area. State the population as a number.
The City of Miami has 404,048* residents and welcomes over 1.2 million people coming to work,
visit and do business on an everyday basis within city limits. Most of Miami's population is
Spanish speaking (66%), and 75% of its population speaks a language other than English at home.
This grant will serve the entire 34.5 square miles of the City of Miami. This area is a small but
densely populated area. It is home to people primarily from Central and South America. More
than 69% of the population is Hispanic or Latino and 23% is African American, Caribbean or
Haitian. The City is populated by minority groups and an elderly population. It has a median
income of $27,088. Miami is the 5th* poorest city in the country. The elderly and low income
families are among the most vulnerable groups.

The VA will initially contact the victims by telephone or mail. Victims will come to our VA Office located at
the MPD Headquarters. VA will assess the victims' needs, and file the Victim Compensation Claim, if it is
required. (40%)
The VA will provide crisis intervention if it is necessary, and will refer victims to different agencies in the
community as needed. (20%)
VAs will provide every victim with the Victims' Rights Brochure, and they will also train new officers on
victims' rights and will follow up in roll call or via our Unit's monthly bulletin. (10%)
The VA will maintain a good network and professional relationship with other advocates and agencies.
(5%)
The VA will provide individual case follow up with the victims. The VA will maintain a database with the
services provided to each victim. (25%)

3. Provide information about other agencies who will coordinate services with the applicant.
MPD does coordinate with other agencies. We provide information and referrals according to the
victim's place of residence. Some of the agencies with whom we coordinate are: the State
Attorney's Office (SAO), the courts, the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center (FIAC), the Roxy
Center, Legal Counseling of Miami and shelters such as the Lodge and SafeSpace North.
Page 19
4. Describe in detail how the coordination of services will be accomplished. Include a description of those
services to all victims checked in Part 4.
Once the victims are contacted and an assessment is completed, the referral process begins.
5a. Victim Compensation Assistance: The Final Program Guidelines mandate that grant recipients provide
assistance in filing victim compensation claims. Refer to the definition in the application instructions.
Describe how the proposed project will meet this mandatory requirement.
Currently, the Miami Police Department (MPD) meets this mandatory requirement. Police
Officers, Detectives, City of Miami Neighborhood Enhancement Teams (NET) Officers and Victim
Advocates are trained to fill out and file a Victims Compensation Claim on behalf of the victim.
As per our policies and procedures, all victims are informed and encouraged to file a Victims
Compensation Claim, if applicable. In 2008, the Victim Advocates filed 450 cases.
Page 20
5b. If applicable, provide a justification for not billing Victim Compensation for services that may be funded
tnrougn victim compensation. t --or example, tnerapy services.
If the Victims Compensation Claim is denied, then we do not bill. A reason for denial may be if the victim
has a criminal history.
6. Use of Volunteers: The Final Program Guidelines mandate that grant recipients use volunteers. Under
this subheading describe how volunteers will be utilized.
Volunteers will be utilized to provide information and brochures to the public, and if necessary
they will assist in providing direct services to the victims, supervised by the Victims Advocate
Supervisor. Typical duties involve preparing files, filling out Intake forms, making photocopies,
providing victims with explanations of their rights in the Victims Rights Brochure, and fulfilling
other duties as required.
7. Identify the number of volunteers currently utilized in the Victim Services Program. This number must be
expressed in full time equivalent(s).

child victims of Cybercrime, victims of child pornography, or innocent victims of gang
violence through therapeutic counseling services?
If so, describe this component of the proposed VOCA project in detail. Please note the agency applying
for funding must be the service provider.
Yes, we do serve child victims of Cybercrime, child pornography and innocent victims of gang
violence. MPD's Victims Advocate Program will refer them to the services depending on their
individual needs. The victims will also fill out the Victim Compensation Program claim and the
form will be sent to the Attorney General's Office for eligibility review.

Part 9. VOCA MATCH BUDGET
Program Match: The Final Program Guidelines require that all proposals provide a 20 percent match of the total
VOCA project. Total VOCA Project is defined as the VOCA Budget Request plus the Program Match. Match funds
are subject to the same restrictions that govern VOCA grant funds, i.e., the source of program match must be a
VOCA-allowable expenditure.
To determine the amount of match required by the Final Program Guidelines for the proposed VOCA project,
divide the total amount of the VOCA Budget Request by four. The result is the amount of the program match.
For example, if the VOCA Budget Request is $30,000, then divide $30,000 by four which equals $7,500. In this
case, the required match is $7,500 which equals 20 percent of the total VOCA project. The following further
illustrates the program match requirement:
$30,000 VOCA Budge Request
+ 7.500 Required Program Match ($7,500 equals 20% of the total VOCA Project)
$37,500 Total VOCA Project
Allowable match funds may include, but are not limited to, volunteers, staff salaries, rent, equipment, operating
costs, etc. Federal funds from other sources cannot be used for VOCA match. Match used for the VOCA project
cannot be used as match for any other grant. Do not over report match, i.e., do not provide match in excess of
20% of the total VOCA project. Match may be provided as either cash or in-kind or a combination of cash and in-
kind as follows:
Cash Match: A cash match is any cost component that is included in the agency's overall budget as it applies
to the provision of direct services for victims of crime (i.e., staff providing direct victim services, travel related
to the delivery of direct victim services, rent paid by the agency for the portion of the program providing direct
victim services, etc.). If the agency pays for the expense, then it may be used as a cash match.
In -Kind Match: An in-kind match includes donated items or services that benefit the program but which do not
have a dollar value assigned for budgeted purposes. For example, programs may use volunteer hours as
match. The value placed on donated services must be consistent with the rate of compensation paid for
similar work in the applicant agency. If the required skills are not found in the applicant agency, the rate of
compensation must be consistent with the labor market. Programs may use items donated by other programs
or individuals as in-kind match (i.e., rent and utilities used for the provision of direct services to victims and
donated by another source outside the agency).
The Program match section is an itemized description by budget category of proposed matching contributions. The
budget categories are personnel, contractual services, equipment and operating expenses. Provide a detailed
(itemized) list and a budget narrative for each budgeted category. Indicate the funding source and indicate if it is a
cash or in-kind match. Do not over report required match. Unless otherwise approved by the OAG, reported match
must be consistent with the monthly reimbursement request.
Match Narrative - Describe in detail the type of Match, whether cash or in-kind, the budget category, etc. Submit
the same detailed information for match as provided for VOCA funded items (i.e., if match is in Personnel for paid
staff complete the table below (attach additional pages if needed) and provide the total salary & benefits and
percentage. Job descriptions are required for all paid staff and/or volunteers reported as a Match. Failure to
provide VOCA allowable job descriptions may result in a reduction to your request.
