Victim Rights and Services

The purpose of this program is to establish trauma recovery centers in communities significantly impacted by violence with a focus on addressing the urgent need for trauma recovery support and access to victim compensation for those who traditionally will not seek it out or are unaware that assistance is available.

The goals of this project are to increase public awareness of crime victims’ rights and services nationwide during the 2025–2027 National Crime Victims’ Rights Weeks and strengthen the capacity of victim assistance agencies to develop a broad, collaborative approach to community awareness that highlights services for all types of crime victims.
