Trafficking and Crime Victims Assistance Program
Refugee Programs Bureau (RPB)
The Trafficking and Crime Victims Assistance Program (TCVAP) provides eligible non-citizen victims of human
trafficking, domestic violence and other serious crimes services such as cash assistance, food benefits, employment
and social services. Benefits and services are modeled after the Refugee Resettlement Program which follow the same
grant amounts, structure and time frames as Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) and CalWORKs. The TCVAP is a state-funded
program and is administered by the Refugee Programs Bureau (RPB). RPB provides services to counties and
stakeholders throughout California to administer the TCVAP.

The TCVAP provides culturally-sensitive and linguistically-appropriate programs and services to assist crime
survivors in fulfilling their immediate needs, attain the skills needed for finding employment and becoming
self-sufficient as quickly as possible.
