The Post-Conviction Victim Advocacy Program went into effect May 23, 2010

As a result of the passage of HouseBill 3634 during the February 2010 legislative session, there is now more specific statutory language related to victims' rights. These rights are important during the legal phases following the conviction and sentencing on a criminal case involving person crimes. The services apply to cases in the direct appeal, post-conviction review and federal habeas processes. For more information see Post-Conviction Victim Advocacy Program.


CVSD E-Grants

CVSD E-Grants is a new comprehensive web-based grant application and reporting system. Once operational, grantees will complete grant applications, submit reports, and request grant amendments on-line. We anticipate that this system will provide for a more streamlined application and reporting process for both grantees and CVSD staff. For more information, please visit the E-Grants webpage.
