Keep your home address private

Colorado's Address Confidentiality Program, run by the state's Division of Central Services, gives participants a legal substitute address to use on public records. It forwards their mail at no cost.1

  • State and local government agencies must accept the substitute address. Private companies may accept it, but they don't have to.1
  • It is for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, stalking, and harassment. Protected health care workers and patients, including reproductive and gender-affirming health care workers and patients, can also apply.12
  • Applicants must live in Colorado and must have moved in the past 90 days or be planning to move. People who live with an eligible applicant can be added to the application.2
  • You apply by meeting with a certified Application Assistant. Only Application Assistants can submit applications.2

Help for victims of crime

Each judicial district in Colorado has a Crime Victim Compensation program. These programs help eligible victims of crime with certain costs, such as medical and counseling bills, lost income, relocation, and changing locks. Each local program decides who qualifies.3
