Network for Victim Recovery of DC

Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC) empowers DC's crime victims to achieve survivor-defined justice through a free, holistic and collaborative continuum of advocacy, case management, and legal services. Advocacy Services: NVRDC runs the advocacy portion of DC’s Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program, supporting a coordinated community response for survivors, including: hotline services, free transportation to and from the hospital, hospital advocacy, entry into therapeutic services, and referrals to legal services. Legal Services: Staff attorneys provide direct representation in civil protection orders (CPO) cases and Title IX administrative proceedings; in criminal court, they zealously defend victims’ rights throughout the entire criminal justice process. Special Projects: NVRDC's special projects include: the Victim Legal Network of DC (VLNDC), the District’s Collaborative Training & Response for Older Victims (TROV), and the Identity Theft Assistance Project (ITAP).
