Domestic Violence Victim Assistance
The Los Angeles County D A ’ V S VS Los Angeles C A ’ V A P VAP aid victims of domestic violence with an array of services to help victims become survivors. Program services are provided free of charge and there is no legal residency or citizenship requirement. Both BVS and VAP personnel assist crime victims with the processing of claims with the California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB). The CalVCB can help pay bills and expenses that result from certain violent crimes. Victims of crime who have been injured or have been threatened with injury may be eligible for assistance. The victim has the right to file a civil suit for losses suffered as a result of the abuse, including medical expenses, loss of earnings, and other expenses for injuries sustained and damage to property, and any other related expenses incurred by the victim or any agency that shelters the victim.
In addition to protecting victim rights and assisting in obtaining restitution and compensation, representatives of the BVS and VAP counsel crime victims and their families, provide referrals to social agencies, assist crime victims through the difficult court process, and help promptly return property used in evidence.
The program gives special attention to child victims, the elderly, victims of sexual assault, victims of domestic violence, victims with disabilities and family survivors of criminal homicides. Crime scene response is provided on certain high trauma crimes. Bilingual staff members are available to assist victims in several languages. Escorts to court are also arranged.
