The Office for Victims Programs (OVP) houses a number of programs to support victims of crime. The programs include grant funding for victim service agencies, support for local victim compensation and Victim Assistance and Law Enforcement (VALE) programs, victim rights compliance, supporting statewide anti-human trafficking efforts, and supporting statewide responses to sexual assault.

Crime Victims Fund Update
House Bill 24-1349
We continue to work in partnership with the three state victim services coalitions to find solutions to stabilize Victim Service Funding. One such effort is the Coalitions' work on HB24-1349 - The Firearms and Ammunitions Excise Tax Bill that was heard in the Finance Committee on April 1st.
VOCA Funding Factsheets by Colorado County and Statewide
In an effort to illustrate how VOCA cuts might impact various programs and counties within the state, the OVP staff have created one page factsheets that provide data on the current programs funded by county, the number of victims served, the number of services provided, and the top three reported victimizations. There is also an information sheet for those agencies that provide statewide services. If you have any questions regarding VOCA or the information sheets you can contact OVP staff at cvsgrants@state.co.us.
