Outreach

Serving the Community

In 2021-22, CalVCB expanded many benefits and services available to victims.

Through legislative and budget changes, CalVCB has grown the Trauma Recovery Center Program and changed how erroneously convicted persons are compensated. The successful launch of the Forced or Involuntary Sterilization Compensation Program (FISCP) continued support of mass violence victims and compensation for human trafficking victims have also been areas that CalVCB has actively supported victims.

First Responder Cards

California Government Code section 13962, subdivision (b) states that every local law enforcement agency has the duty to inform crime victims about CalVCB.

To support law enforcement with this statutory requirement, CalVCB provides First Responder Cards and other resources.
