The Crime Victim Center of Erie County, Inc. was established in 1973 as the Erie County Rape Crisis Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting sexual assault victims and their families and friends.  In 1986, Victim Witness Services was established for victims of other violent crimes, their families and friends, and also to serve the witnesses to violent crimes.

The goal of the agency's programs and services is to lessen the impact of crime through counseling, education, and advocacy.  In 2002, we changed our name to Crime Victim Center of Erie County, which we feel better reflects our mission and services.

Funding for our agency comes from the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, Department of Human Services' Mental Health/Mental Retardation Unit, United Way of Erie, United Fund of Corry Area, Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) and through donations and fundraising events.
