Victim Allies Project (VAP)

The Victim Allies Project Mission: To provide our clients--the family and friends of homicide victims--with emotional and logistical support, including assistance navigating the Orleans Parish criminal justice system. Victim of violence, and survivors of homicide, have a range of needs that are not currently met by responsible agencies in Orleans Parish. The Victim Allies Project assesses the individual needs of victims who seek our support; then we pair trained volunteers to help summon resources and attention to their cases through direct communication with the DA's office, law enforcement, the Department of Justice, and/or Crimestoppers. Grief support groups, limited advocacy with funeral homes and the State Reparations Board, and general emotional support are also part of what the Victim Allies Project does for clients. All of these services are free.
