FY 2026-27 Unserved/Underserved Child and Youth Advocacy (XY) Program Supplemental

The primary purpose of the Program is to provide funding for advocacy and support services to unserved/underserved child and youth victims/survivors of crime. This can be accomplished by maintaining and/or enhancing an existing program by committing staff time to specifically address the needs of the identified unserved/underserved child and youth victim/survivor population, hiring staff that reflect that population, training staff on the cultural norms of the population, and increasing outreach efforts.
