New Crime Victims Assistance Center Opens In Binghamton

The Crime Victims Assistance Center in Binghamton has provided around-the-clock support and services to those in our community affected by crime for decades.

CVAC serves residents of Broome and Chenango Counties, offering a safe and welcoming space for individuals and families to access support and information on their path to safety and healing after a crime has occurred.

In addition, they provide crisis intervention, medical advocacy, law enforcement accompaniment, counseling, support groups, and prevention education.

The Crime Victims Assistance Center has recently moved to a new, more modern facility at 71 Robinson Street, Binghamton, with plans to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 21, 2026, at 10 a.m. at the new facility.

The week of April 20th is National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, highlighting a nationwide commitment to honoring survivors and raising awareness of victims’ rights. CVAC notes that the opening of the new facility on Robinson Street marks a significant step forward in expanding access to critical services for individuals impacted by crime in Broome County.

This new location allows us to truly meet the needs of our community by providing a much more accessible, safe, and welcoming space where survivors can access support, advocacy, and healing services.- Haley Roma, Director of Education and Training

CVAC's new facility is designed to enhance crisis support and advocacy, counseling services, child advocacy center services, community outreach, professional education, and prevention programming

Coming up, the Crime Victims Assistance Center's annual Survivor Walk is set for Saturday, April 25th at Otsiningo Park, beginning at 12 p.m. The walk will step off at 1 p.m. It's a free event for everyone. For more information on the Survivor Walk, visit the CVAC Facebook page.
