One Safe Place for Survivors. One Smart Investment for Sacramento County.
ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Every day, the Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center helps survivors and their
children move from trauma to safety, stability, and hope. By providing coordinated
services under one roof, we reduce barriers for families while also reducing long-term
costs to public systems throughout Sacramento County.
HOW THE FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER SAVES COUNTY RESOURCES
Reduced Law Enforcement Costs: Fewer repeat 911 calls, reduced patrol response,
stronger investigations, and improved offender accountability through coordinated
services and early intervention.
✔
Reduced Homicides & High-Risk Violence: Early danger assessments, strangulation
response, high-risk case coordination, and rapid intervention help identify the most lethal
cases before violence escalates to homicide. By connecting survivors to immediate safety
planning and coordinated support, lives are saved and future tragedies can be prevented.
✔
Reduced Healthcare Costs: Early medical intervention, strangulation assessments, and
trauma-informed care help prevent costly emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and
long-term health complications.
✔
Reduced Homelessness: More than 1,100 clients annually are at risk of homelessness
due to violence. Housing support and safety planning help prevent shelter entry and longterm housing instability.
✔
Reduced Child Welfare Costs: Stabilizing families and supporting non-offending parents
helps reduce Child Protective Services involvement and protects children from further
trauma.
