Safe at Home: Address Confidentiality Program
http://www.sec.state.vt.us/otherprg/safeathome/safeathome.html
This program helps victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking--who have relocated or are about to relocate--to keep their perpetrators from finding them. It offers two services: a substitute address service and a protected records service. These services limit a perpetrator's ability to access public information that could identify the location of a victim in the program. This is not a witness protection program, but rather a mail forwarding service.
