The nonprofit Family Justice Center, a one-stop support network for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and child or elder abuse victims, plans to open an Antioch location in early 2019.
The Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women has awarded $32 million to improve the criminal justice response to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Among the 54 nationally awarded grants, the Contra Costa EHSDreceived nearly $1 million. EHSD will use this funding over the next three years to strengthen critical victim services, judicial handling and law enforcement response, as well as to deepen its cross-sector community partnerships throughout the county. https://www.cocofamilyjustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Alliance-Grant-2018-Press-Release_final.pdf
