Description
The Utah Victim Services Program (UVSP) provides state funding for core services for crime victims across Utah. Administered by the Utah Office for Victims of Crime, it supports established programs offering criminal justice victim advocacy, legal services for crime victims, and services for underserved populations. Its goal is to make services more consistent and accessible statewide.
Funding can help programs maintain and improve services, evaluate their impact, and provide emergency or short-term assistance for victims’ basic needs, safety, and stability. It can also support training for advocates and service providers, community outreach about available resources, and culturally responsive services, including traditional healing activities.
