Title: Rescue & Restore Regional 

Program Project Data. 

OMB No.: 0970–NEW. 

Description: The Trafficking Victims 

Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as 

amended, authorizes the Secretary of 

Health and Human Services (Secretary) 

to expand benefits and services to 

victims of severe forms of trafficking in 

persons in the United States, without 

regard to the immigration status of such 

victims. Such benefits and services may 

include services to assist potential 

victims of trafficking in achieving 

certification (Section 107(b)(1)(B) of the 

TVPA, 22 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(1)(B)). It also 

authorizes the President, acting through 

the Secretary and the heads of other 

Federal departments, to establish and 

carry out programs to increase public 

awareness, particularly among potential 

victims of trafficking, of the dangers of 

trafficking and the protections that are 

available for victims of trafficking 

(Section 106(b) of the TVPA, 22 U.S.C. 

§ 7104(b)). 

The Secretary delegated authority to 

carry out these responsibilities to the 

Assistant Secretary for Children and 

Families who further delegated the 

authority to the Director of the Office of 

Refugee Resettlement (ORR). 

The intent of the Rescue & Restore 

Victims of Human Trafficking 

campaign, launched in 2004, is to 

increase the identification of trafficking 

victims in the United States and to help 

those victims receive the benefits and 

services they need to restore their lives. 

The purpose of the Rescue & Restore 

Victims of Trafficking Regional Program 

(Rescue & Restore Program) is to 

increase the identification and 

protection of foreign victims of human 

trafficking in the United States and to 

promote local capacity to prevent 

human trafficking and protect human 

trafficking victims. The Rescue & 

Restore Program also seeks to remove 

barriers to prevention and protection 

specific to foreign human trafficking 

victims who live in the United States. 

The Rescue & Restore Program has the 

following objectives: 

(1) Identification and Referral of 

Foreign Victims of Human Trafficking: 

To identify foreign victims of trafficking 

and refer them to service delivery 

systems. 

(2) Training and Technical 

Assistance: To build local capacity by 

providing training and technical 

assistance on human trafficking to local 

organizations not involved in a local 

coalition. 

(3) Coalition Building: To lead or 

actively participate in a community-led 

effort to bring together and leverage 

local resources to address human 

trafficking in a region, such as a Rescue 

& Restore Coalition or law enforcement 

task force (‘‘coalition’’). 

(4) Public Awareness: To promote the 

public’s awareness of human trafficking 

by educating the public about the 

dangers of human trafficking, possible 

indicators of sex and labor trafficking, 

and the protections available to victims. 

To measure each grant project’s 

performance progress and the success of 

the program, and to assist grantees to 

assess and improve their projects over 

the course of the project period, ACF 

proposes to require grantees to input 

numbers for each numeric indicator and 

other information for qualitative 

indicators into a spreadsheet during the 

36-month project period. 

ACF proposes to collect data for the 

following indicators: 

Identification and Referral of Foreign 

Victims of Human Trafficking 

• The number of outreach events 

conducted by the grantee; 

• The number of people reached at 

outreach events; 

• The number of potential male and 

female, adult and minor foreign human 

trafficking victims identified through 

Rescue & Restore project efforts; 

• The number of potential male and 

female, adult and minor foreign human 

trafficking victims referred by the 

grantee to service providers; and 

• The number of male and female, 

adult and minor foreign human 

trafficking victims who receive 

Certification, Eligibility, and/or Interim 

Assistance Letters as a result of the 

grantee’s efforts. 

Training and Technical Assistance 

• The number of persons in social 

service agencies, law enforcement 

agencies, and other relevant 

professional, community-based, and 

faith-based organizations who were 

trained by the grantee; 

• The number of persons whose 

knowledge of human trafficking 

measurably increased as a result of 

grantee training as evidenced by the use 

of established practices in assessing 

learning; and 

• The number of social service, law 

enforcement, health, legal, education, or 

other professionals provided technical 

assistance on identifying human 

trafficking victims and referring them 

for services or to law enforcement.

Coalition Building 

• The number and percentage of 

coalition meetings led or attended by 

the grantee; and 

• The number of coalition meetings 

in which the applicant proposed or 

promoted new or more efficient ways to 

combat human trafficking, improve 

coalition effectiveness, or assist 

trafficking victims in the targeted 

geographic location. 

Public Awareness 

• The number of people, 

distinguished by professional, 

occupational, community, or 

demographic sector, reached during 

strategic public awareness activities 

conducted by the grantee; and 

• The number of people who reported 

knowledge of human trafficking 

information that was distributed as a 

result of the applicant’s public 

awareness efforts. 

In addition, ACF proposes to collect 

information on the victims and potential 

victims of trafficking (victims) identified 

as a result of each project’s activities. 

ACF will not collect information about 

U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent 

Residents. ORR will aggregate this 

information to include in reports to 

Congress, which are available to the 

public, to help inform strategies and 

policies to prevent trafficking in persons 

and to protect victims. This information 

will also help ORR assess the project’s 

performance in identifying victims and 

referring them for services. 

ORR proposes to collect the following 

information, if available, for each victim 

reached by a grant recipient or any 

partner organizations: 

• Type of Trafficking (Labor, Sex, 

Labor and Sex, Unknown); 

• Client Identifier (e.g., Initials, Date 

of Birth, and Country of Origin); 

• Client information (Sex, Adult/

Minor); 

• Description of trafficking situation; 

• Date that organization made contact 

with the victim began establishing trust 

and/or screened the person for victim 

status; 

• Date that grantee positively 

identified person as a victim of a severe 

form of trafficking in persons; 

• Documentation from the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) about the time of temporary 

status the victim is pursuing (e.g., 

Continued Presence, T Visa, U Visa, 

SIJS); 

• Name of service agency assisting 

the victim; 

• Date of HHS Certification or 

Eligibility; and 

• Date the agency or victim 

terminated contact, with space for 

explanation. 

Respondents: Rescue & Restore 

Victims of Human Trafficking Regional 

Program grantees.
