California Victim Compensation Program (CalVCP)

Our mission at CalVCP is to serve victims and help them recover from the traumatic impact of crime. A critical part in providing this service is the Restitution Fund, which we use to pay victims' crime-related expenses. It is fueled by fines and orders levied by judges against criminal offenders. This process not only helps victims become whole, it also helps to rehabilitate offenders as they are forced to face the impact of their crimes, and at the same time contribute to their victims' healing.
