BACKGROUND:
The Family Justice Center Project (Project) will provide multi-disciplinary services for victims of interpersonal violence such as sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking.
DISCUSSION:
The Department retained TEF Design to prepare the design for the Project at 1510 Fashion Island Boulevard in San Mateo. TEF Design has prepared the Project’s plans and specifications, and Department staff recommend that this Board authorize calling for bids for the proposed work.
The County Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
By providing services in one location, family justice centers reduce the number of times victims tell their stories and places victims must visit to seek help. The result is reduced trauma and increased access to services for victims and their families.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project is proposed to be financed through the existing project budget included in the requesting Department’s Approved Budget for FY2026-27.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
