California Victims of Crime Program

The California Victims of Crime Program provides financial assistance to individuals who have been directly affected by violent crimes, helping cover expenses like medical bills, counseling, and funeral costs. Funded by state and federal resources, the program aims to reduce the financial burden on victims and support their recovery. Eligibility depends on the nature of the crime, reporting, cooperation with law enforcement, and meeting specific criteria. The program does not replace criminal justice processes but complements them by offering timely, practical aid to crime victims.
