The event promotes community awareness of crime victims’ rights and services during 2014 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (April 6-12, 2014). The theme for 2014 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is “30 Years: Restoring the Balance of Justice.” The theme commemorates the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the U.S. Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). Legacy House is one of 71 projects recommended by the National Associations of VOCA Assistance Administrators and selected for funding by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Legacy House will promote victim and public awareness activities and an innovative approach to victim outreach and public education about victims’ rights and services. This is an awareness event so no organization that participates can actively solicit funds during this event.
