SHEET

Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements
The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any certifications
or assurances submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of
performance also is a material requirement of this award.
Failure to comply with any one or more of these award requirements—whether a condition set out in full
below, a condition incorporated by reference below, or a certification or assurance related to conduct
during the award period—may result in the Office of Justice Programs ("OJP") taking appropriate action
with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other things, the OJP may withhold award funds,
disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award. The Department of Justice ("DOJ"), including OJP,
also may take other legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or
concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under
18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil
penalties and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C.
3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms,
that provision shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect
permitted by law. Should it be held, instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or unenforceable, such
provision shall be deemed severable from this award.
2. Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements
The Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part
200, as adopted and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R. Part 2800 (together, the "Part 200 Uniform
Requirements") apply to this FY 2018 award from OJP.
The Part 200 Uniform Requirements were first adopted by DOJ on December 26, 2014. If this FY 2018
award supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number (e.g., funds
awarded during or before December 2014), the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all
funds under that award number (regardless of the award date, and regardless of whether derived from
the initial award or a supplemental award) that are obligated on or after the acceptance date of this FY
2018 award.
For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as the relate to OJP awards
and subawards ("subgrants"), see the OJP website at
https://oiP.qov/fundinq/Part2000niformReguirements.htm.
Record retention and access: Records pertinent to the award that the recipient (and any subrecipient
("subgrantee") at any tier) must retain – typically for a period of 3 years from the date of submission of
the final expenditure report (SF 425), unless a different retention period applies – and to which the
recipient (and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier) must provide access, include performance
measurement information, in addition to the financial records, supporting documents, statistical records,

and other pertinent records indicated at 2 C.F.R. 200.333.
In the event that an award -related question arises from documents or other materials prepared or
distributed by OJP that may appear to conflict with, or differ in some way from, the provisions of the Part
200 Uniform Requirements, the recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.
3. Compliance with DOJ Grants Financial Guide
References to the DOJ Grants Financial Guide are to the DOJ Grants Financial Guide as posted on the
OJP website (currently, the "DOJ Grants Financial Guide" available at
https://oip.gov/financialguide/DOJ/index.htm), including any updated version that may be posted during
the period of performance. The recipient agrees to comply with the DOJ Grants Financial Guide.
4. Reclassification of various statutory provisions to a new Title 34 if the United States Code
On September 1, 2017, various statutory provisions previously codified elsewhere in the U.S. Code
were editorially reclassified to a new Title 34, entitled "Crime Control and Law Enforcement." The
reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards (that is, OJP
grants and cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the U.S.
Code.
Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that
has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory
provision as reclassified to Title 34. This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in
award conditions, references set out in material incorporated by reference through award conditions,
and references set out in other award requirements.
5. Required training for Point of Contact and all Financial Points of Contact
Both the Point of Contact (POC) and all Financial Points of Contact (FPOCs) for this award must have
successfully completed an "OJP financial management and grant administration training" by 120 days
after the date of the recipient's acceptance of the award. Successful completion of such a training on or
after January 1, 2016, will satisfy this condition.
In the event that either the POC or an FPOC for this award changes during the period of performance,
the new POC or FPOC must have successfully completed an "OJP financial management and grant
administration training" by 120 calendar days after— (1) the date of OJP's approval of the "Change
Grantee Contract" GAN (in the case of a new POC), or (2) the date the POC enters information on the
new FPOC in GMS (in the case of a new FPOC). Successful completion of such a training on or after
January 1, 2016, will satisfy this condition.
A list of OJP trainings that OJP will consider "OJP financial management and grant administration
training" for purposes of this condition is available at https://www.oip.gov/training/fmts.htm. All trainings
that satisfy this condition include a session on grant fraud prevention and detection.
The recipient should anticipate that OJP will immediately withhold ("freeze") award funds if the recipient
fails to comply with this condition. The recipient's failure to comply also may lead OJP to impose
additional appropriate conditions on this award.

21. Restrictions on "lobbying"

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 recipient,
or any subrecipient at any tier, 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.

would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance,
and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP.
22. Compliance with general appropriations -law restrictions on the use of federal funds (FY 2018)

various "general provisions" in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, are set out at

Should a question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or a subrecipient)

VOCA Match Budget: VA Witness Coordinator
Agency Name: City of Miami
Program Match: The VOCA Rules require that all proposals provide a 20% 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. Training is not approved as a matching contribution.
To determine the amount of match required by the VOCA Rules 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% of the total
VOCA project. The following further illustrates the program match requirement:
$30,000
+$7,500
$37,500
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

VOCA Match Budget: VA Witness Coordinator
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. If match is in the personnel
category for paid staff complete the table below (attach additional page(s) if needed) and provide the total
salary and benefits and percentage. Attach job descriptions for all paid staff and/or volunteers reported as
Match. Job descriptions must reflect VOCA allowable activities that are equal to or greater than the percentage

EXAMPLES- Match Narrative:
Our agency utilizes volunteers who provide direct services to victims of crime, such as intake clerks, clerical
(types reports and calls victims) and victim advocates. The agency anticipates using volunteers at the
equivalent of 20 - 23 hours per week x 52 weeks x $5.15 for a match of $5,698.
* Only those agencies with an established volunteer component are eligible to utilize volunteers as match.
The agency rents office space from the Global Company at $14,400 annually and the agency's pro -rated
portion for office space for volunteers and supervisor of the victim advocate would be approximately 19% (or
$234 per month) x 12 months = $2,807.
Approximately 5% of the Victim Advocate Supervisor position will be utilized to provide supervision for the
victim advocate position. The supervisor's total salary and benefits equal $32,000.

Statement of Need
Statement of Need: The statement of need must provide a description about why this project is needed. Be
clear and avoid acronyms.
Underserved Victims: Applicants are encouraged to identify gaps in available services for "underserved"
victims and to seek funding to provide services to these victims. Underserved populations may include, but are
not limited to, child -on -child abuse, child abuse by non -caretaker, crimes against the elderly, non-English
speaking persons, persons with disabilities, victims of federal crimes, victims of workplace violence and
members of racial or minorities.
1) Briefly describe the need for services to victims of crime that will be addressed using VOCA funding. If
needed, define the deficiency of services to victims.
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) Victim Advocate Services Unit (Unit) currently has 1
Administrator and 2 Witness Coordinators fully funded by the City and 2 VOCA funded Victims'
Advocates (100% & 50% respectively), serving 453,579 residents and 3.8M annual visitors. Annually,
the Unit serves nearly 9000 victims and makes contact with about 25,000. In comparison, Miami Beach
PD serves 1200 victims yearly with a staff of 4 in its Victims' unit. MPD is the largest servicer of victims
in South Florida, second only to Miami -Dade County Police. We surveyed neighboring jurisdictions and
discovered that the City is significantly staffed below the average based on caseload and city size. It is
critical for us to increase staff to effectively provide victim services/support and complement the efforts of
officers to aid victims. Funding from VOCA will support two full-time temporary Victims' Advocates, six
full-time temporary Witness Coordinators and one part-time contracted Counselor.
2) Provide information about crime statistics for all counties that will be served in the service area.
Specifically, detail the statistics related to the need described in #1.
The Unit helps victims navigate the various programs and services available to them for recovery from
traumatic incidents. In 2017, the Unit was assigned 4,200 new cases and continued management on
24,992 other cases which needed follow up and are still open. We also completed 6,500 phone
contacts.The number of cases reported to MPD included 1236 physical assaults; 2898 domestic
violence;254 sexual assaults; 1011 robberies;4080 vehicular victimizations and 372,971 CAD
generated calls. The Unit is responsible for advocacy efforts such as but not limited to, providing
outreach information to residents and law enforcement, accompanying victims to court, performing crisis
intervention, as well as assisting non-English speaking residents with U -Visa requests. The community
has been asking for greater advocacy. Lack of resources inhibits our ability to reach out personally and
provide continual case management. An expanded Unit is critical to better serve the needs of the
community.
3) Provide demographic information about the population of all of the counties that will be served. At
a minimum, provide information about gender, race, or national origin and age for the service area.
With approximately 6 million inhabitants, Miami -Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties are the most

Statement of Need
populous areas in Florida. Per the 2015 Census estimate, 3 million (52%) females and 2.8 million (48%)
males reside in these counties. The tri -county population is diverse, consisting of 21.5% Black, 37.7%
Hispanic, and 37.7% White. The vulnerable populations of children make up 20.8%, and seniors 17.4%
(over 65 years old) of the population; the median age is 41. Wages are low, at an average median
income of $50,818 versus $55,322 nationally. Families have high poverty rates, with 16.5% overall living
in poverty, and 18% of females living below the poverty line. In 2016, approximately 38.6 million people
visited the tri -county area. While MPD does not provide direct law enforcement services in these
counties, should a resident of these counties or visitor become a victim in the City of Miami, services will
be provided to them.
4) Provide demographic information about the population to be served through the proposed VOCA
project. At a minimum provide information using agency historical data about gender, race or
national origin and age for the service area.
Miami is the largest municipality in Miami -Dade County with a 2016 estimated population of 453,579,
covering 36 square miles. The majority of the Unit's clients reside here. It has an ethnically diverse
population that is 71 % Hispanic, 19.2% Black, and 11.8% White. Females comprise 52% and males
48% of the populace; 18% are under age 18 and 16% are seniors 65 years and older. The median
income is $31,642 versus the US average of $55,322; 27.6% of Miami residents live in poverty. In single
family households with related children this is higher with 46.1 % living below the poverty line. Miami's
foreign -born rate is 57% and 76% of residents speak a language other than English at home. Millions of
travelers visit yearly, many not familiar with City laws or unable to access resources when victimized.
These factors affect victims' access to victim services, increase the difficulty of MPD's response, and
intensify the need for additional Victim Advocate Services Unit personnel.

Project Proposal
The project proposal must clearly outline what needs to be done and by whom in order to address the needs
identified in the statement of need.
The project proposal pertains only to the services related to the proposed Total VOCA Project (VOCA grant
plus match activities).
1) Describe which services will be provided to the crime victims described in the statement of need.
Summarize which services will be provided by each proposed VOCA funded personnel position or
contractor. Specifically, indicate how the proposed personnel, operating, contractual, equipment and
training expenses are associated with the provision of services to crime victims: consistency
Funding will support (6) Witness Coordinators (WC) and (2) Victims' Advocates (VA), full-time,7
days a week to fill the current service gap.WCs are experts in their field and will be integrated into
other departments (ie.Homicide) with assigned duties specific to their skillset.This integration will
improve interdepartmental cooperation between the Unit and officers.One in-house Counselor will
be contracted (1) day a week to provide trauma counseling services. VAs will support WCs with
duties such as completing victim compensation forms, follow-up contacts and other services.
Increased VAs and a service vehicle will allow the Unit to handle more of the transportation of
victims, which is currently being done mostly by detectives. Staff will provide victims a brochure
containing rights and resources valuable to them.Low-cost cell phones will be given to staff for
24-hour accessibility. Staff will receive training from Florida Crime Prevention Institute to optimize
quality of service.
2) Provide a listing of other agencies that will coordinate services with the applicant for the VOCA project
and the services provided by each agency.
The City coordinates services with agencies providing assistance within its boundaries and
keeps referrals sources for Miami -Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties: Coordinated Victim
Assistance Center (CVAC); the Lodge and Safespace-shelter for victims of domestic
violence; Women's Fund of Miami -Dade County Human Trafficking & Sexual and Domestic Abuse
Program; the State Attorney's Office Victim Advocates Unit;Kristi House Sexual Abuse Program;
Community Action and Human Services Department -certifies victims of domestic violence;
Switchboard of Miami -provides information and referrals; Jackson Health System for Mental
Health Crisis Counseling; Roxy Bolton Rape Treatment Center;The Children's Bereavement
Center, Center for Family and Child Enrichment,inc, Dade County Alliance Against Domestic
Violence,the Homeless Assistance Trust Programs and the Florida Department of Children and
Families. We coordinate with other local police departments; victim advocate units, and others as
needed.
3) Describe in detail how the coordination of services will be accomplished.
Indicate if a Memorandum of Agreement or other formal coordination plan is in place.

Project Proposal
Once the initial assessment is prepared, the Witness Coordinator or Victims' Advocate
determines the necessary services to a partner agency. If services are provided by the Advocate,
they will schedule an appointment with the victim at the point of intake to come to the MPD's
Victim Advocate Services Unit office. If services needed are within the scope of another agency,
the Advocate or Coordinator will make a referral to the appropriate partner agency. Unit
personnel then follows -up with the victim to ensure their needs are being met. Once an external
referral is made to one of MPD's partner agencies, that agency takes on case management
responsibilities. However, the Victims' Advocate Unit personnel remain responsible for
processing victims' compensation forms and maintains an open door policy for all victims they
assist. For minors, MPD has a Multidisciplinary Team Agreement with the Orlowitz-Lee Children
Advocacy Center.
4) Does a duplication of service exist? (Choose one from the drop-down menu): No
If yes, please explain.
5) The VOCA Rules mandate that grant recipients use volunteers in the victim services program. Describe
how volunteers will be utilized to provide services to crime victims. If the agency does not currently utilize
volunteers, please explain how they will be recruited and incorporated into the victim services program.
Volunteers are selected via an application process and undergo a background check through the
Community Relations Unit, per Miami Police Department policy. Volunteer duties include
contacting victims, filing cases, answering office phones, compiling statistics and other
administrative duties related to obtaining incident (crime reports) and maintaining victim case
files.
6) Identify the number of volunteer hours supporting the work of this VOCA award for subgrantee agency's
victimization program/services.
1 Volunteers provided
520 Hours of Service annually
