New name, same outstanding service.
The Ada County Commissioners and the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office are renaming the area’s foremost comprehensive victim services center in downtown Boise.
The Ada County Victim Services Center at 417 South 6th Street was created in 2006 as a one stop location for individuals experiencing interpersonal violence. Local law enforcement, healthcare providers, and other partners who have seamlessly provided services at the facility since its creation, believe the new name better reflects what the facility does, and how the partnerships help individuals and families in our area.
Previously the facility was called FACES of Hope Victim Center. One of the 16 partners, the FACES of Hope Foundation recently decided to pursue other opportunities. The departure of this one group has not in any way paused or affected any of the services provided at the facility. The partners have come together to fill short-term gaps and are excited to invite other community partners into the building to provide additional services to victims.
“Since 2006, the partners co-located at the center, 417 S. 6th St., have provided necessary services to victims and survivors of interpersonal violence in their times of need. It is such a privilege to join the numerous agencies and service providers to announce our continued partnership at the newly named Ada County Victim Services Center,” said Ada County Prosecutor Jan Bennetts. “The building may have a new name, but the address, the phone number and the partners’ commitment to victims in our community are the same as they always have been. To those seeking services, you can have every confidence that when you enter the Ada County Victim Services Center, the partners will be there to provide the exceptional wrap-around services they have been providing for nearly 20 years.”
