Victims of crime

Victims of Crime Act (VOCA)-Funded Elder Abuse Programs

In August of 2016, a new VOCA Rule clarified and expanded states’ allowable uses of VOCA victim assistance funding. This rule paved the way for states to identify additional ways to support all victims of crime, including victims of elder abuse. This OVC page highlights examples of VOCA-funded elder abuse programs and the VOCA offices that fund them.

National Identity Theft Victims Assistance Network

This OVC-funded program seeks to expand and improve the outreach and capacity of victim service programs to assist victims of identity theft and cybercrime. This national network seeks to build capacity to provide assistance to victims of these crimes and encourage the expansion of existing victim service programs and coalitions.
