FACCES (Family Achievement & Cultural Community Enrichment Services)
About FACCES
Established in August 2024, FACCES (Family Achievement and Cultural Community Enrichment Services department) was created to bridge both internal and external gaps within our court system, while also onboarding new areas that have historically not been part of the court's structure. FACCES encompasses several critical areas, including the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI), Reentry, Grants, Programs, CourtRide, Behavioral Health Clinicians, and Specialty Dockets (Empowerment, Juvenile Recovery Court, and Family Recovery Court).
