That's where we
want the church and the synagogues and the mosques to
help us. We want them to be co-facilitators of the healing
process with us.

It was President Reagan who first identified the faith community as a vital and largely untapped source of support for victims. Since 1982, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) has worked to help the faith community respond to the needs of crime victims by providing funding, training, and technical assistance to faith-based organizations (FBOs).
These OVC Web pages are designed to showcase promising practices in the faith community and innovative partnerships between the faith and victim assistance organizations. The following links will provide useful information and resources tailored to the needs of faith-related victim assistance efforts.
For more information, services, and programs that involve victim assistance by faith-based organizations, explore the resources listed on these pages:
