The California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) provides reimbursement to eligible victims of crime for many crime-related expenses. CalVCB funding comes from restitution paid by criminal offenders through fines, orders and penalty assessments, and federal grant funds. Government Code sections 13963.1 and 13963.2 mandate that CalVCB administer a program to evaluate applications and award grants to Trauma Recovery Centers (TRC) in California to provide services to victims of crime.
The grant program awards funding for TRCs to provide trauma-informed services to victims of crime. Grantees will serve all victims of crime, whether or not they meet CalVCB’s eligibility requirements, provided the services are consistent with California Government Code sections 13963.1 and 13963.2 and the Notice of Funds Available (NOFA).
