Children's Advocacy Centers

    With respect to the funding of Children's Advocacy Centers, 
pursuant to the Victims of Child Abuse Act, 42 U.S.C. 130001b - 130002, 
OJJDP has established a five-year project period for the Regional 
Children's Advocacy Center programs, effective February 21, 1995.
    Given availability of funds and adequate performance, awards will 
be without further competition for the duration of the project period 
to the four grantees currently managing the Regional Children's 
Advocacy Centers (RCAC). They are as follows: Children's Advocacy 
Center, Inc. (Northeast RCAC); National Children's Advocacy Center, 
Inc. (Southern RCAC); LaRabida Children's Hospital and Research Center 
(Midwest RCAC); and Pueblo Child Advocacy Center (Western RCAC).
    Funding to local Children's Advocacy Centers will continue to be 
administered by the National Network of Children's Advocacy Centers. 
The National Network will competitively subgrant funds to local 
Children's Advocacy Centers. A continuation grant will be awarded 
without competition for the purposes of grants administration to the 
National Network, contingent upon availability of funds and grantee 
performance. Interested applicants for local Children's Advocacy Center 
funds can contact the National Network on 202/639-0597.
