New York Office of Victim Services (Victim Assistance Programs) (OVS Victim Assistance)
OVS funds and oversees more than 200 Victim Assistance Programs across New York that provide direct services to crime victims, including counseling, advocacy, court accompaniment, emergency shelter, and relocation assistance. Funding flows from federal VOCA and state sources to local organizations.
Who it is for
Nonprofit and public victim service organizations seeking 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 OVS.
How to reach them
Use the organization's own page for current hours, contact, and any local sites. For safety, Findwell does not publish shelter locations or other confidential addresses.
This is how New York runs the national Victim Assistance Formula Grants (VOCA). See the national program .
