Establishes pilot program in certain municipalities to make grants available to non-profit organizations to perform outreach regarding VCCO.
This bill establishes a three-year pilot program in New Jersey's six highest-crime municipalities (based on state police data) to fund non-profit organizations for outreach about the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO). The program provides grants to non-profits to inform crime victims about compensation services they may qualify for through VCCO. The Department of Law and Public Safety will administer applications and require a post-pilot report to the Governor and Legislature, recommending whether to continue, expand, or make the program permanent. The direct beneficiaries are crime victims in these six urban areas seeking financial assistance for crime-related expenses.
