VCFJC provides a caring, safe environment where victims and their families can access the comprehensive services they need to recover, heal and break the cycle of violence. All services are offered free of charge.

As part of his commitment to protecting victims and seeking justice in all our communities, Erik is expanding the Mental Health Unit and working to create domestic violence housing and a new Family Justice Center in Oxnard.

Heather Abbott Gonzalez’ family are survivors of crime. After working to ensure that her daughter received the justice she deserved, Heather went on to change how sexual assault is addressed in our community, helping to establish the Family Justice Center and Voices of Ventura County.
