Thank you for your participation.  In an effort to assess implementation of the ARP Act supplemental funding, we would like to request your participation in this survey. The information provided will be used to improve the Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services (OFVPS) training and technical assistance provided to you as a grantee.  Please note your participation in this feedback survey is voluntary, and the information provided will be kept private.  

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions.  

Please only include information that is funded through the ARP supplemental funding and do not include information that is funded exclusively with FVPSA core annual funding.  You may find you have not provided services using ARP funding, so the answer “No” or “O” is acceptable for those questions or categories. 

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.  The OMB # is 0970-0531 and the expiration date is 09/30/2025.
