Volare’s Victim Legal Network of DC (VLNDC)
VLNDC is a network of over 27 organizations in Washington, DC, that help people who have been impacted by crime. These groups offer legal support for many issues, like family problems, immigration, debt, housing, and protecting their rights as crime victims. When someone who has survived a crime contacts VLNDC, the goal is to connect them with the right organization that can help. If VLNDC can't assist directly, they make sure to provide other resources the person can look into for help.
