Arizona Crime Victim Compensation Program
The Crime Victim Compensation Program helps victims of violent crime with crime-related costs that cannot otherwise be paid. Covered expenses can include medical and dental care, mental health counseling, lost wages, funeral and burial costs, crime scene cleanup, and limited transportation. The program does not cover property damage, pain and suffering, or legal fees. The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission administers the program, and each of Arizona's counties operates its own compensation board and coordinator.
Who it is for
Victims of violent crime in Arizona, including survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and certain family members, who have an economic loss not covered by another source.
Focus: Domestic and intimate partner violence, Sexual assault, Stalking and harassment
