This team approach enhances collaboration between all organizations and eases the
accessibility of services to domestic violence victims who are often in high risk
situations. Additionally, victims are able to tell their story one time and are not having to
be re-traumatized by telling their story to multiple agencies.

rate of cities across America and the family justice center project is an effective model
that have proven successful with crime prevention strategies. The U. S. Department of
Justice has designed the family justice center model as a best-practice model for domestic
violence intervention and prevention. The risk assessment tool that is utilized during the
intake process is an evidenced-based assessment conduct by Dr. Jackie Campbell (2004)
from John Hopkins University http://www.dangerassessment.or . This assessment
identifies risk factors that have been associated with increased risk of homicides of
women and men in violent relationships.
The project will achieve the following activities: working in a multi-disciplinary team
setting,providing direct services to domestic violence victims and their children, the
utilization of volunteers, and reducing intimate partner-related homicides. Direct services
will be assessed utilizing a client services survey to determine if they were able to
develop strategies to improve safety, increase in knowledge about domestic violence, and
measure of hope theory.

CODE: C TYPE: NOW PUBLIC NO
CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Agreement with Safe City Commission in the Amount of
$300,000.00 to Operate One Safe Place as a Regional Family Justice Center in Tarrant
County During Fiscal Year 2019(CCPD Funded) (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Agreement with Safe City
Commission in the amount of$300,000.00 to operate One Safe Place as a Regional Family Justice
Center in Tarrant County during Fiscal Year 2019.
DISCUSSION:
One Safe Place, a Regional Family Justice Center, brings together a multi-agency task force
dedicated to providing coordinated services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in
Tarrant County. Victims of domestic violence receive coordinated medical, legal, and counseling
services and have access to on-site professionals. The on-site professionals include child protective
services, law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, and victim advocate specialists. The increased
access to professional services at one centralized location encourages victims of domestic violence
to report the abuse, provides victims with access to necessary services, and creates an opportunity to
break the cycle of violence.
The City of Fort Worth worked closely with Safe City Commission (SCC) to develop the vision of One
Safe Place. Under the terms of the Agreement, SCC will be reimbursed during Fiscal Year 2019 in an
amount up to $300,000.00 to cover portions of the salaries of the Family Justice Center, 1 family
therapist, 1 intake coordinator, 1 full-time and several part-time reception personnel, and a portion of
the operating expenses for the physical facility that will provide a centralized, streamlined location for
victim advocacy and support.
This Agreement will be effective October 1, 2018, and will end on September 30, 2019.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that, contingent upon adoption of the Fiscal Year 2019 Budget by
City Council, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2019 Budget of the Crime Control and
Prevention District Fund. The Police Department is responsible for verifying the availability of funds
prior to an expenditure being made.
