DVHT Grant Recipient Reporting Reference Guide:

Data Elements and Operational Guidance

The Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program is inclusive of two distinct programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking and Services Outreach Program and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities Program. The performance indicators and data collection instruments described within this reporting reference guide are applicable to both DVHT programs. DVHT award recipients must provide program performance indicator data to OTIP on a quarterly and annual basis, as indicated. Award recipients will be provided with the following information when requesting data:

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BURDEN: The purpose of this information collection is to gather data on the grant program to assess program performance, inform evaluation efforts, tailor technical assistance for recipients, respond to inquiries from stakeholders, and inform policy and program development. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average XX hours per grant recipient, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering, and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information. This collection of information is required to retain a benefit (22 U.S.C. 7105, Trafficking Victims Protection Act). An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB # is 0970-0542 and the expiration date is XX/XX/XXXX. If you have any comments on this collection of information, please contact Vera Soto, Office on Trafficking in Persons, by email at Vera.Soto@acf.hhs.gov.
