Help Support Victims of Crime in The Bronx

Please help support Crime Victims in the Bronx through our Fall Fundraising Campaign

Crime Victims Support Services of the North Bronx has been helping victims get through the difficult aftermath of a traumatic event in their lives.

Started by Joanne Cicero in 1998 after the tragic loss of her son, our mission is to provide crime victims with advocacy to all appropriate governmental and non-for-profit agencies, as well as direct comprehensive services, including assistance filing state compensation claims, criminal and/or civil court system support and information on their rights and entitlements within the criminal justice system.

Through consistent outreach to law enforcement agencies, residents and a broad range of social service, medical centers and non-profit community organizations, CVSS has established itself as a vital community resource for crime victims and their families to come to where they receive emotional and financial support.

CVSS is a 501 (c) 3 non-for-profit organization recognized through a grant from the New York State Office of Victims Services (OVS) as an outreach and assistance program staffed by trained personnel . CVSS assists innocent victims of crime from ALL walks of life regardless of age, demographics, race and income levels.
