Federally, VOCA funding has been steadily decreasing since 2018 and is at a historical low. This will affect every city and town in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance (MOVA) and the entire victim services field here in Massachusetts are advocating for VOCA Bridge Funding in the state budget to mitigate significantly reduced federal funding to victim services through the Crime Victims Fund (CVF).
