The Victims’ Justice Center (VJC) of the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office provides victims of crimes and their families information and assistance regarding their rights, their safety and resources available to help cope with the emotional, physical and financial impacts of crime.
VJC staff assists victims and survivors file applications to the New York State Office of Victim Services for reimbursement of fees associated with medical bills, funeral expenses or other financial losses experienced as a result of a crime against them or their families.
The VJC can also make referrals to community organizations or service providers that assist victims with legal matters beyond the scope of the VJC staff, and make referrals for counseling (includes remote tele-health) by a VJC trauma therapist at Westchester Jewish Community Services.
The VJC hours are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
