In addition to the human cost articulated throughout this narrative, SV poses a substa tial financial cost to the community. Research suggests that sexual assault is the most costly of all crimes, resulting in inflated healthcare costs in the short and long term. Child sexual abuse is also shown to disrupt academic attainment, later job performance, and earnings, resulting in an estimated 1,245090, Itletorrte_ean nincLdeftcat12;: ervNofs. An investment in sexual violence prevention is an investment in the preservation of the mental, physical, and financial health of our community. j) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded, Without funding from local governments, we would not be able to provide a large number of safety education programs to our community. With current staffing, we are stretched beyond capacity. In FY2015-2016, the OCRCC provided a total of 898 programs to 15,904 youth and adults — 17% more than the previous year. But we unfortunately had to decline more than 55 programs due to limits on staff capacity, More than 80% of programs each year are delivered to pre-K through grade 12 students, and these programs are not financially supported by the school districts As the education team works to deliver community-wide education opportunities, we rely on local government support. To meet increasing demand, we need additional funding for a part-time, contracted educator to assist with program delivery. Otherwise, we will be forced to continue declining program requests due to limits on staff capacity. Altogether, Vocal government grants comprise about 10% of our budget. k) Include any other pertinent information, The OCRCC's education program has received statewide and national attention for its innovative and promising approach to the prevention of sexual violence, In 2016, the OCRCC received the North Carolina Council for Women's Purple Ribbon of Excellence Award to honor the work of the program to advance evidence-informed prevention practices. Additionally, the Start Strong program is currently under review by the CDC for an evaluability assessment in recognition of the potential for this high-impact program to become an evidence-based practice for other communities.
