Keep your home address private

Kansas's Safe at Home program is the state's address confidentiality program. It is run by the Attorney General's Office.12 It gives participants a substitute address to use instead of their home address, and free forwarding of first-class mail.23

  • It is for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking who live in a place their abuser does not know.1
  • You apply with a trained enrolling assistant, who explains the program and helps decide if it fits your situation.2
  • State and local government agencies must use the substitute address. Private businesses are not required to accept it.2
  • The program says it does not guarantee safety and is not a witness protection program, but it can be a helpful part of an overall safety plan.1

Help for victims of crime

The Kansas Crime Victims Compensation Board can help victims of violent crime with certain costs from their injuries, such as medical care, counseling, and lost earnings.1 The program is run by the Crime Victims Compensation Division of the Attorney General's Office.4
