District Attorney, Community Leaders, and Service Providers Unveil Family Justice Center Space Set to Open in 2026

Brighton, CO – District Attorney Brian Mason, along with Adams and Broomfield County elected officials, community leaders, and service providers, unveiled the future home of the Family Justice Center — a one-stop hub for survivors of domestic violence — set to open inside the Adams County Human Services Center in 2026. 

The unveiling marks a significant milestone in the development of this long-planned project. Located at 11860 N. Pecos Street in Westminster, the Family Justice Center will bring together a full range of essential services under one roof — including legal support, housing resources, counseling, crisis intervention, safety planning, and advocacy. Following the redesign of the existing space, the Center is expected to open in 2026. 

This site will serve as the temporary home of Adams and Broomfield County’s Family Justice Center, with a long-term goal of establishing a permanent, purpose-built facility in the years ahead. 

On Monday, October 27, 2025, District Attorney Brian Mason shared the news with a large group of community leaders, partners, and local media. 

“This Family Justice Center represents a major step forward in how we support survivors of domestic violence in Adams and Broomfield Counties,” said District Attorney Brian Mason. “For the first time, survivors will be able to come to one place and access the full range of services they need—legal help, counseling, housing, advocacy, and more. It’s a powerful example of what we can achieve when government, nonprofits, and the community come together to make safety and healing a priority.” 

One in three women and one in seven men experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. The Family Justice Center project in Adams and Broomfield Counties has been years in the making. It began with the creation of the District Attorney’s Office’s Special Victims Unit, which handles domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking cases. That effort expanded into the Domestic Violence High-Risk Team in the 17th Judicial District, which triages cases for lethality risk to ensure survivors receive immediate, targeted support. 

The Family Justice Center inside the Adams County Human Services Center is the next step in that coordinated response — a collaborative effort backed by strong community partnerships and the support of the Adams County Board of Commissioners. 

“As a lifelong Adams County resident, I’ve seen how powerful our community can be when we show up for one another. The Family Justice Center is more than a building — it’s a promise that survivors will never have to navigate crisis alone,” said Commissioner Julie Duran Mullica, Vice Chair of the Adams County Board of Commissioners. “This is a moment for every community across the 17th Judicial District to rally together and make that promise real. Protecting families and survivors is not just the work of one jurisdiction — it’s the shared responsibility of us all. When we invest in safety, healing, and hope, we strengthen every corner of our county and the future we’re building together.” 

Project updates will continue to be shared as development progresses, with an anticipated opening in 2026.
