The DC Victim Hotline (DCVH) is a 24-Hour phone, chat, and text-based resource and crisis line for all crime victims in the District of Columbia. Visitors to the hotline receive strength-based and trauma-informed services and referrals in over 200 languages. The Victim Assistance Specialists who operate the hotline receive extensive training and mentoring to provide emotional support, information, and resources that empower visitors as they navigate the physical, emotional, legal, and financial consequences of crime.

The DCVH collaborates with numerous agencies to best serve visitors to the hotline and is an entry point into the District crisis service system for domestic violence shelters and sexual assault services.
