Provide a summary of the project or program:
           Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response (STAR) is a nonprofit organization committed to serving youth and adult survivors of sexual trauma and building institutional capacity to prevent and respond responsibly to sexual violence in the community. This request for funding is to provide free and confidential support and counseling services to survivors of sexual trauma in 15 parishes in Louisiana: Ascension, Avoyelles, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Grant, Iberville, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, Pointe Coupee, Rapides, St. Tammany, Vernon, West Baton Rouge and West Feliciana. Services to survivors include operation of a 24/7 crisis hotline, 24/ hospital accompaniment during forensic medical exams, accompaniment to criminal justice interviews and court proceedings, individual and group counseling, and legal representation in matters resulting from a sexual assault.

What is the budget relative to the project for which funding is requested?:
          Salaries. . . . . . . . . . . . . $125,000
          Professional Services. . . $0
          Contracts . . . . . . . . . . . $0
          Acquisitions . . . . . . . . . $0
          Major Repairs . . . . . . . $0
          Operating Services. . . . $75,000
          Other Charges. . . . . . . $0

Does your organization have any outstanding audit issues or findings?  No

If 'Yes' is your organization working with the appropriate governmental agencies to resolve those issues or findings?
          

What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          This funding would allow STAR to provide advocacy, counseling, and legal services to more individuals in need, especially those facing the new challenges posed by Covid-19. Due to decreases in local and federal funding sources, STAR is at risk of eliminating staff and programs, which would compromise our ability to carry out services to sexual assault victims in need.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          The goal of this program is to provide advocacy, counseling, and legal services to every sexual assault survivor in need within STAR’s 15-parish service area. This will be achieved through retaining current staff and operations over the next year.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           12 months
