Victim Assistance and Sexual Assault Program (VASAP) - Who We Serve

All Montgomery County residents who are victims of crime or victims of crimes committed in Montgomery County and their families and significant others are eligible for services from VASAP.

VASAP serves victims of crimes such as rape, sexual assault, homicide (surviving family and friends), driving while intoxicated (DWI), and vehicular manslaughter victims, bullying, terrorism, torture, hate violence, robbery, carjacking, purse snatching, assault, battery, stalking, harassment, auto theft, burglary, arson, larceny, vandalism, and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Fees for ongoing counseling services are charged on a sliding scale, based on ability to pay. No one is denied services due to lack of funds.

All other victim assistance services are free. This includes court companions, criminal justice advocacy, assistance in applying for the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund, and other non-counseling services.
