Compensation for victims of crime
The Victim Quick Response Program+ (VQRP+) is a government program that may pay for certain expenses you have because you have been a victim of a violent crime in Ontario. This includes intimate partner violence.
The rules about who can qualify for help are very strict. For example, you must first report the crime to the police or to a community victim support agency within a certain time. And, in most cases, you must show that you:
- have no money or insurance to pay for the expenses, and
- there are no publicly-funded programs that can meet your needs.
The VQRP+ decides if you qualify and how much money you get. You will not have a court or tribunal hearing.
For more information or to apply to the VQRP+, search the Victim Services Directory to find the VQRP+ service delivery organizations in your community. Or you can call the Victim Support Line at 1-888-579-2888 or 416-314-2447.
