Featured Project: Southern Arizona Child and Family Center
Description
The Southern Arizona Child and Family Center is a collaborative effort to build a 25,000 square foot center that will provide the complete range of services to families in crisis. The Center will be modeled after centers in other communities that have already realized the benefits of co-locating various agencies involved in aiding victims and investigating acts of family violence. The primary goal is to minimize the trauma to victims, especially children, who must now travel from one location to another in order to receive medical assistance, report the crime, and provide investigators and prosecutors with necessary information.
