This information collection is related
to and funded by Trafficking Victim Assistance Program, is
authorized by Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C.
7105(b)(1)(B)), as amended, and is being conducted by the Office on
Trafficking in Persons (OTIP). The Trafficking Victim Assistance
Program (TVAP) funds grantees to provide comprehensive case
management to foreign national victims of human trafficking
pursuing HHS Certification with the support of a national network
of service providers. OTIP seeks to revise the current information
collection to measure grantee progress and performance, improve
program evaluation, inform policy, assess program outcomes, and
build a response to human trafficking that is responsive to the
needs of victims. TVAP grantees are expected to effectively serve
all victims of all forms of trafficking in a person-centered,
culturally appropriate, and trauma-informed manner, including
individuals belonging to groups that have been historically
underserved, marginalized, or subject to discrimination or systemic
disadvantage, in order to increase identification of and support
for individuals from these groups. As such, we are seeking to make
nonsubstantive changes to our existing Trafficking Victim
Assistance Program Data (OMB #0970-0467) collection, particularly
data elements related to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
(SOGI) Survey Measures to better support equity for individuals
belonging to groups referenced in Executive Order 13985. ACF
proposes to collect information from TVAP grant project
participants through the grantees on a monthly, quarterly, or
annual basis, including participant demographics (age, sex, and
country of origin), type of trafficking experienced (sex, labor, or
both), enrollment status, types of services and benefits provided,
types of health screening and medical services received, the names
of the entities providing medical services, the amount of money
expended on each type of medical service provided, types of
partnerships developed through the grant with subrecipients, and
the types of training and technical assistance provided to
subrecipient organizations or other partners.
