06926Y0360-Crime Victim Assistance Program

The Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV) is seeking proposals for the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP). The program aims to provide support services to survivors of domestic and gender-based violence and other crimes in New York City. The proposed program model includes embedding victim advocates in neighborhood-based organizations and select precincts and specialized units within the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The program will provide short- and long-term services, including emotional support, crisis counseling, safety planning, and connection to services. The goal is to increase access to community-based services, reduce duplication of services, and enhance law enforcement response to victims. • Key services include: continued safety planning, crisis counseling, individual advocacy, and ongoing case management • Target population: survivors of crime and abuse, including survivors of domestic and gender-based violence and general crime • Program model: embedding advocates in neighborhood-based organizations and select precincts and specialized units within NYPD • Evaluation criteria: experience providing similar services, organizational capacity, proposed approach, and budget detail
