SECTION B: Project Narrative
5. BRIEF PROJECT TITLE: Domestic Violence & Special Populations Project
6. BRIEF PROJECT SUMMARY:
This program is a prosecution-based project, serving all of Weld County (the 19° Judicial District), providing
direct services to adult and child victims of domestic violence, victims of child sexual abuse (primary and
secondary), adult sexual assault victims, and"previously under-served" victim populations, including elderly
victims, assault victims, Spanish-speaking victims, at-risk-adult victims, et al.
7. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT FOR WHICH FUNDS ARE BEING REQUESTED:
The Victim/Witness Program, in the Nineteenth Judicial District Attorney's Office, is the only prosecution-
based program serving victims and witnesses of crime in its jurisdiction, Weld County. The VOCA project
enables the Victim/Witness Program to provide enhanced services to crime victims, especially those services
being provided to victims of domestic violence and victims in other special populations (e.g., victims listed
in the Victim Rights Act, elderly victims, Spanish-speaking victims, at-risk-adult victims, et al). VOCA
funds partially pay the salaries of four staff persons who provide direct and ongoing services to victims, adult
and child, in about 1,200 domestic violence cases being filed annually and to more than 6,000 victims and
witnesses of other violent crimes. Through their work with domestic violence victims, during hearings in the
District's dedicated domestic violence court and elsewhere, the Victim/Witness staff provides needed direct
services, such as personally providing VRA and Victim Compensation information, facilitating victim's
communication, in English or Spanish, with prosecutors and the Court, etc., and many of these services are
initiated in less than 24 hours after the criminal incident. In addition to the services being provided to
domestic violence victims, staff members offer comprehensive services to all victims and witnesses of violent
crime having contact with the District Attorney's Office and its Victim/Witness Program. Amongst the
comprehensive services provided by the Victim/Witness staff are the following: crisis counseling, follow-up
contacts, criminal justice education and advocacy, personal support, information and referral, emergency
financial assistance, Crime Victim Compensation, HIV notices and education, Victim Rights Act notices, and
other services (e.g., helping victims with Victim Impact Statements and restitution requests, offering and
staffing a separate waiting area during court hearings, providing case status information, etc.).

12. BUDGET DETAIL AND JUSTIFICATION: (Do not exceed the two pages allowed for this budget narrative.) Please
provide the following information for each budget category:
PERSONNEL REQUEST: (Also, if you are using personnel or in-kind volunteers as match,please describe here.)
a. Please explain how you arrived at the cost of the salaries and benefits you are requesting.
The salary and benefit costs for all positions are set by the Board of County Commissioners. In projecting
the total salary cost for each VOCA supported position in 2005, a couple of anticipated increases are
expected. First, each year the County Commissioners award a cost-of-living raise to all County employees
and this increase has consistently equaled 4%; therefore, it is expected that all of the positions will receive a
4% raise in 2005. Second, in accordance with County policies, all full-time employees are eligible for regular
step raises and, as these employees remain in their positions, the cost of step raises need to be added to their
salaries. Finally, each year the overall cost of benefits has tended to increase at a faster rate than salaries, it is
anticipated that this trend will continue in 2005. (Note: It is estimated that benefits for full-time and part-time
employees equal 30% and 20% of their salary respectively.) So, while the total estimated cost of salaries and
benefits during 2005 are expected to increase, I have retained the 2004 projected costs, as follows: total
estimated salary costs are $89,470, total estimated benefit costs are $24,254 and overall total is $113,724.
b. Please provide the following ADDITIONAL information on the positions for which you are requesting funding.
