Civil Legal Aid for Victims of Crime Initiative

The Civil Legal Aid for Victims of Crime Initiative (CLAVC) helps victims of crime with their crime-related civil legal problems — including family law, housing, immigration, disability rights, child welfare, education, consumer, identity theft, employment rights and public benefits. The applicant for services must be a victim of a crime which is connected, directly or indirectly, to the legal matter for which the client is seeking our help.  There are no financial eligibility restrictions for our work under this grant. The statewide CLAVC Initiative is supported by the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance through a Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (VOCA) grant from the Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.
