“ Perhaps most importantly, I can recall the sounds of their voices every time I needed them. I remember never feeling alone in my grief. I remember feeling someone’s hand on my shoulder when I thought I couldn’t possibly endure anymore. ” — From the wife of a homocide victim

History
On April 23, 1982, President Regan's Task Force on Victims of Crime was established. The hypothesis that innocent victims of crime had been overlooked and unattended was substantiated in a report submitted by the task force on December 20, 1982. Furthermore, the task force proposed sixty-eight means to correct "a national disgrace." By the end of 1982, the 97th Congress of the United States enacted the Victim and Witness Protection Act with "fair treatment standards" for victims of federal crime.
In 1984, Congress enacted the Victim's of Crime Act with a fund generated by criminal fines and penalties to support state compensation and local service programs.
During Spring of 1986, a research project undertaken by Mary Ellen B. Jagel resulted in a program designed to address unmet needs of crime victims in Colorado's First Judicial District.
The project design, submitted as Victim Outreach Information, was funded by a grant awarded by the Victim Assistance Law Enforcement (V.A.L.E.) Board of Colorado's First Judicial District. On September 5, 1986 Victim Outreach Information was incorporated. The following March, the Internal Revenue Service granted VOI non-profit 501(c)3 status.
