Welcome
The Oregon Department of Justice (ODOJ), Crime Victim and Survivor Services Division (CVSSD), is hosting a series of nine multi-county Community Collaboration Meetings in 23 of 36 counties between September 2024 – June 2025. These meetings will include partners in each of the primary county service areas from law enforcement, prosecution, courts, victim services and child advocacy services.
In 2023, ODOJ/CVSSD completed the first half of the Community Collaboration and Tribal Nations Needs Assessment Project which was identified in the VAWA Implementation Plan. The listening sessions with each of the nine federally recognized tribes focused on the collaborative partnerships across the state.
About the Community Collaboration Meetings
We all share a commitment to address gaps in services in our communities. We continue to hear about challenges tribal victims and survivors face receiving services and challenges connecting sister victim service programs and community partners in law enforcement, and prosecution.
The Crime Victim and Survivor Services Division and its leadership, fund coordinators and CVSSD DEI Subcommittee Co-Chair and state partners will meet with community partners in each location.
CVSSD will release a brief 5 question survey in advance of each meeting to help guide an interactive 2-hour conversation with all of us at the table. You may access the survey here. We encourage you to include your team when responding to the survey.
Your experience and expertise is important to us. Please let us know if you have questions, or if there is anything we can do to support your participation in these meetings.
