How does the Victim Quick Response Program (VQRP) work?
These services are quick and easy to access. Once victims are connected to the designated agency in their community, they receive the help they need to access the services. The services must be requested no later than 14 days after the crime is reported. In all cases, service providers are paid directly by the VQRP rather than the victim. Eligible victims may request the following services: • Funding to cover emergency expenses to a combined maximum, per occurrence, not to exceed $1,000 for: • Costs incurred in crime scene cleanup where the use of a specialized service is required • Funding to cover emergency home repairs to secure premises for the immediate safety of victims. • Emergency home repair funding is NOT intended to replace broken items unless the item is necessary for the safety and security of the victim. Examples of eligible costs include but are not limited to: • Installing plywood sheets over broken windows • Replacing broken locks on doors • Repairing or replacing prim
