Solano Family Justice Center

The Office of Family Violence Prevention (OFVP), on behalf a strong partnership of local government, law enforcement, courts and community-based organizations, continues to move forward with implementing the strategic plan developed for a Solano Family Justice Center (SFJC). The SFJC began operating in February 2011 to offers victims of child abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse and sexual assault an opportunity to build hope and new futures. 

The SFJC operates under the auspices of the Solano County District Attorney’s Office and has recently relocated to 604 Empire Street, Fairfield.   The District Attorney has indicated his strong support for a violence prevention approach and the partnership between the DA and the SFJC presents a unique opportunity for strengthening the DA's victim advocacy efforts.  The Solano Family Justice Center provides the following on-site services:

·         Confidential and non-confidential victim advocacy

·         Court accompaniment

·         Victim empowerment assistance

·         Emergency services referral

·         Victim/Witness assistance

·         Resource referrals

·         Access to domestic violence crisis shelter, domestic violence transitional shelter and counseling

If you are in need of direct services as a result of domestic and/or family violence, please call the SFJC Reception Desk at 707-784-7635 to arrange an appointment with or speak with an SFJC Staff Social Worker.  While we encourage you to make an appointment to meet with SFJC staff, drop-ins are also welcome between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excepting holidays.

Solano Family Justice Center Announces Grand Opening of New Location

Beginning in 2009, the Office of Family Violence Prevention facilitated, with the assistance of the Glen Price Group, Strategic Implementation Planning for a Solano Family Justice Center.  The Planning involved representatives of multiple agencies from the County of Solano, State legislators' offices, faith and community-based agencies and domestic violence shelters.  On February 2, 2011, the Solano Family Justice Center began providing services under a co-located service delivery model.  On April 1, 2013, the Solano Family Justice Center began providing services at a county-owned building located at 604 Empire Street in Fairfield.  Please click on the below link to a recent press article about the SFJC Relocation and Grand Opening.
