To provice comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse, and their families, in a safe, comforting and suppportive environment.

The City of Phoenix Family Advocacy Center opened its doors in August 1999. As part of the City Manager's Office, the center serves as a central location for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault to receive services.

The center began providing comprehensive services to victims and families through a variety of partnerships. From the beginning, staff worked with victims to help navigate the system, strengthen investigations and enhance the prosecution of perpetrators. Partnerships with community-based organizations provide valuable advocacy services to victims and their families.

Partnerships have expanded to include services such as individual counseling and long-term case management, and various support groups to meet the needs of domestic violence and sexual assault victims.
