Projects and Initiatives

The Vermont Children’s Alliance legislative initiatives align with those of The National Children’s Alliance, including:

 

• Supporting the work of Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs)—and demonstrating Congressional support for these vital services—through full funding of the Victims of Child Abuse Act.

​

• Ensuring that abused children receive the services they need through restoring and increasing funding for the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), which funds the Crime Victims Fund.

​

• Ensuring CACs have funding alternatives to weather the current cuts in VOCA funding over the next two to three years.

​

• Supporting the work of CACs by ensuring that CACs have the support and resources they need to serve victims of human trafficking by bringing attention to the issue on a national level.

​

• Supporting legislation to not only better protect against child abuse, but to also provide needed trauma-informed care for children exposed to violence.
