Connecting Crime Victims to Support Across Alabama
A new statewide resource helping individuals and families find trusted, trauma‑informed services and advocacy.
Powered by VOCAL (Victims of Crime and Leniency), AVAP builds on more than 43 years of survivor‑centered advocacy to expand access to services through secure, easy‑to‑use technology.
What Is AVAP?
A Statewide Connection to Help and Hope
AVAP is a new mobile‑friendly platform being designed to help crime victims, families, and professionals quickly locate trusted services across Alabama.
The platform brings together verified information about advocacy organizations, community resources, and support services in one easy‑to‑navigate place — helping reduce confusion, barriers, and delays in accessing help.
AVAP does not replace in‑person services. Instead, it serves as a gateway to care, guiding individuals toward the support that best meets their needs.
Why AVAP Matters

-
Rural and underserved communities often have fewer easily accessible resources
