Grant Description

Grants to Kansas private or public nonprofit organizations and local or state government agencies for new and established programs overseeing child visits and exchanges. Funding is intended to improve, expand, or launch projects that provide assistance and services to children and families requiring supervised exchange or visitation.

Through the Grant Program, the Victims Services Division seeks to ensure that Kansas crime victims: 1) are aware of their rights, 2) have their rights protected, 3) are aware of the services available to them, and 4) have access to quality services.

It is the intention of this grant program to provide as wide a range of coverage to the citizens of the state as possible. Assistance may encompass a wide range of support services. Specific services to be provided and the specific target group should reflect local needs and priorities.

Activities may include on-site supervision, exchange monitoring, therapeutic supervision, recording observations of visits, referrals to other services, and educational parenting classes.
