Being a victim of a crime can be an awful and traumatic experience. The trauma, the fears, sometimes even the guilt. The Crime Victims Program at the CHJCC is here to help.

Victims of a crime who have sustained personal physical injury. A victim who was slapped, pushed, or kicked suffered personal physical injury. Injuries must be recorded in the police report, even if they are not visible, for a victim to be eligible for compensation for personal property loss or damage.

You can be reimbursed for:

• Expenses for medical or other related services not covered by other insurance.

• Burial expenses of an innocent victim who dies as a direct result of a crime (limited to burial expenses only up to $6,000).

• Loss of earnings or loss of support due to injuries sustained as the result of a crime

• Cost of document replacement such as stolen metro cards, passports and drivers licenses.

• Transportation expenses for necessary court appearances in connection with the  prosecution of a crime.

• Cost of emergency lock replacement and use of Domestic Violence Shelters for domestic violence victims

Victims under the age of 18 or over the age of 60 are eligible to apply for benefits to replace essential personal property (such as glasses or articles of clothing) not covered by any other resource up to $500, including $100 for cash. Some young victims have received funds to replace stolen strollers or bicycles.
