Mission
Since its establishment in 1966, the Crime Victims Board (CVB) has been the lead State agency in assisting persons who have been the victims of crime, particularly crimes of a violent nature.
The agency's principal mission is to provide financial assistance to victims for losses they suffer as a result of crime. The Board provides grants to local agencies, which assist witnesses and victims, and serves as the State's advocate for crime victims' rights, needs and interests.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $77.6 million All Funds ($39.2 million Other Funds and $38.4 million Federal Funds) for the Board, which is a net increase of $1.7 million from the 2007-08 budget. The increase is largely a result of shifting operating expenses from the General Fund to the Criminal Justice Improvement Account, Special Revenue Fund-Other, and the inclusion of associated fringe benefit costs that were not previously reflected in CVB's appropriations. The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 103 FTEs which is unchanged from the 2007-08 budget.
