BACKGROUND:
Currently the 40+ staff are housed in a 7500 sq foot facility that does not adequately accommodate the space needed for investigative services, advocacy, medical and mental health services. The proposed expansion would include additional medical clinic space and/or mental health treatment rooms in the new Southern Nevada Children’s Advocacy Center (SNCAC). This project will contract design and engineering experts who can provide a plan that will accommodate the muti disciplinary team. The work plan would need to include but not be limited to: Space for SNCAC staff, Law Enforcement squads, a medical clinic, Child Protective Services units, Mental health therapists, representative from the District Attorney’s office, Children’s Advocacy Foundation, family meeting rooms, conference room space and training room space.
The initial grant period runs from 9/30/2023 through 9/29/2026.
Due to the short timeframe between the HRSA grant application and appropriations award this item was submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services prior to Board approval.
