Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance (Victim Services and VOCA Funding) (MOVA)
MOVA is the state agency that supports crime victims across the Commonwealth. Through the Victim and Witness Assistance Board, MOVA administers federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds that pay for victim service programs statewide, including domestic violence and sexual assault services, counseling, advocacy, and court accompaniment. MOVA also oversees victim compensation and works to ensure equitable access to services.
Who it is for
Nonprofit and public victim service organizations seeking VOCA funding to serve crime victims. Survivors do not apply for the grants; they benefit through the funded programs and can be connected to one through MOVA, a District Attorney's victim witness office, or SafeLink.
