The Victim Services Support Program in Iowa administers grand funds from several federal sources that provide partial funding to local and statewide crime victim service programs in Iowa, including all of the following:
- Federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance
- STOP Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
- Federal Sexual Abuse Services Program (SASP)
- Iowa's Domestic Abuse (DA) and Sexual Abuse (SA)
In 2024, due to the University of Iowa's closure of the Rape Victim Advocacy Program, the Attorney General's Office is soliciting qualified applicants to serve sexual assault victims in these Iowa counties: Cedar, Des Moines, Henry, Iowa, Johnson, Lee, Van Buren, and Washington. These counties are in Iowa's victim services region 6.
