THE SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM (SAS CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM) WAS CREATED BY THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2005 (VAWA 2005), 34 U.S.C. 12511(C), AND IS PART OF THE FIRST FEDERAL FUNDING STREAM SOLELY DEDICATED TO THE PROVISION OF DIRECT INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE INCLUDE ADVOCACY, ACCOMPANIMENT (E.G., ACCOMPANYING VICTIMS TO COURT, MEDICAL FACILITIES, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, ETC.), CRISIS INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT SERVICES, AND REFERRALS, AMONG OTHER SERVICES. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, SUCH SERVICES MAY BE PROVIDED TO ADULT, YOUTH, AND CHILD VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS OF SUCH VICTIMS, AND THOSE COLLATERALLY AFFECTED BY THE VICTIMIZATION. SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT FROM CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES FREQUENTLY CONFRONT UNIQUE CHALLENGES WHEN SEEKING ASSISTANCE, SUCH AS LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL BARRIERS. CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO UNDERSTAND THESE CHALLENGES BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE CULTURE, LANGUAGE, AND BACKGROUND OF VICTIMS FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHO IN TURN ARE MORE INCLINED TO SEEK SERVICES FROM SUCH ORGANIZATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE SAS CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM IS TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND EXPAND CULTURALLY SPECIFIC INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, WHICH SERVE A VITAL ROLE IN PROVIDING SERVICES THAT ARE RELEVANT FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES. THROUGH THIS NEW SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM PROJECT, KINGDOM BUILDERS FAMILY LIFE CENTER, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COLORADO COALITION AGAINST SEXUAL ASSAULT, WILL PROVIDE CRISIS INTERVENTION AND COMPREHENSIVE VICTIM SERVICES TO AFRICAN AMERICAN SURVIVORS OF THE COLORADO SPRINGS METRO AREA.

MASSACHUSETTS, ESPECIALLY CAPE COD, IS A HOT SPOT FOR MARINE MAMMAL STRANDINGS. HUNDREDS OF SEALS AND CETACEANS STRAND HERE EVERY YEAR. MARINE MAMMAL REHABILITATION HOSPITALS ARE SCARCE IN THE ENTIRE NEW ENGLAND REGION, AND THEREFORE SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR ANIMALS IN NEED OF REHABILITATIVE CARE IS SEVERELY LACKING. PINNIPED STRANDINGS ARE COMMON AND INCREASING, WITH CAUSES RANGING FROM DISEASES AND PREDATION TO HUMAN INTERACTION INCLUDING ENTANGLEMENTS, BOAT STRIKES, PROPELLER CUTS, PLASTIC INGESTION, PROVISIONING, AND PHYSICAL HARASSMENT. THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO 1). SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE NOAA'S MARINE MAMMAL HEALTH AND STRANDING RESPONSE PROGRAM; AND 2) TO ENSURE AN INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE WORK ENVIRONMENT.
