Letter to the Editor: When my husband was offered a banking position in Redwood Falls and the bank president gave us a tour of the community, one item stood out above everything else in our minds – the small town of Redwood Falls cared about its children.

The Minnesota OJP has informed all current grantees, including WRAP (Women’s Rural Advocacy Programs), that all states are receiving VOCA reductions. This is happening when crime victims need it most. VOCA was created by Congress in 1984 and established the Crime Victims Fund (CVF). The CVF is not funded by tax dollars. Instead, it comes from fines and fees from federal crime convictions. From there, Congress distributes the funding from CVF and the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) based on a population-based formula to all states and territories.
