What is the status of Nevada County's FJC?
Strategic Planning Completed
Nevada County has completed a comprehensive strategic planning process to guide the development of the Family Justice Center (FJC). This work included a robust stakeholder engagement effort including focus groups, interviews, and a community-wide workshop, with survivors, system partners, cultural communities, and service providers. Their voices directly shaped the FJC’s priorities and design.
Take a look at the Stakeholder Engagement Executive Summary.
Community-Informed Priorities Identified
Through this process, the FJC established five core pillars that will guide implementation:
- Survivor-centered, trauma-informed care
- Collaborative and coordinated systems
- Cultural, language, and identity access
- Housing and stability
- Sustainability and accountability
These priorities reflect what both survivors and providers identified as the most pressing gaps in Nevada County’s current response to violence.
Three-Year Roadmap in Motion (2025–2028)
Our strategic plan outlines a phased implementation timeline:
- 2025: Finalize plan, formalize partnerships, establish governance, and begin facility design and funding work.
- 2026: Launch the initial FJC site, begin co-location of services, and initiate data and evaluation systems.
- 2027–2028: Expand services, publish impact reports, deepen partnerships, and build long-term sustainability.
Full-Time Operations Expected March 2026
Our community is on track to launch full-time FJC operations in March 2026, beginning with an initial site focused on integrated, trauma-informed, multi-agency services.
