Through CVAP, New Yorkers who file police reports for crimes such as rape, domestic violence, shootings, assault, retail theft, financial abuse, and ID theft can find quick and compassionate care.\r\n\r\nThese are our neighbors, friends, and family members who are going through some of the most difficult experiences of their lives. Every survivor deserves respect and support.<\/strong>\r\n

What\u2019s at Stake<\/h2>\r\nLast year, CVAP provided services to 26,000 domestic violence victims, 27,000 crime victims (other than domestic violence)\u202fand 800 sexual assault survivors, reaching a total of over 53,000 victims.\r\n\r\nThis funding cut means 11,000 New Yorkers each year will not receive critical, and often lifesaving, services following a crime.\r\n\r\nMayor Adams and his administration claim to care about public safety. This is his chance to prove it. He should immediately reinstate this funding so that Safe Horizon can continue to help restore safety, promote healing, and ultimately prevent further crime.\r\n
