What is TCVAP?
TCVAP is a cash assistance program for non-citizen victims of crime who are in need of immediate services, and who are obtaining a legal humanitarian status or assisting in the prosecution of a crime. This includes victims of human trafficking who have not yet been certified by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), victims of domestic violence, and other serious crimes.
Non-citizen victims of human trafficking and other serious crimes along with their eligible family members in TCVAP are eligible for benefits and services to the same extent as refugees. Individuals applying must meet income and resource requirements.
