While you don't need a police report or a conviction against the offender to apply, you will need some proof that you have been a victim of a crime. The California Victim Compensation Board can help with costs such as lost income, counseling, medical services, relocation expenses, and more. Keep all receipts, crime reports, and bills, as well as insurance information.

The Survivor Justice Center was founded in 1973 and since then, has provided legal advocacy to low-income and primarily immigrant and Latino populations in Los Angeles. The Center played a historic role on a range of social justice issues related to racial discrimination, police brutality, school desegregation, and the illegal involuntary sterilization of Latina women. Over time, the agency evolved to focus on direct services and, beginning in the late 1990s, greatly expanded its work for victims of domestic violence.
