Queens Family Justice
Center
126-02 82nd Avenue
Kew Gardens, NY 11415-1225
The Queens Family Justice Center is located at the
intersection of 82nd Avenue and 126th St. and is adjacent to Queens
Criminal Court. The 16,000-square-foot modular building was built in 1990
as a one-story annex for the courthouse. Following a $5 million
renovation, the building reopened in 2008 as the Queens Family Justice Center.
An initiative of the Mayor’s Office to Combat
Domestic Violence, the Family Justice Center offers legal assistance,
counseling and support to victims of domestic violence and their children.
Several City agencies and not-for-profit organizations share space in the
Family Justice Center to provide comprehensive services to clients.
This was the second Family Justice Center to be
sited; the first, located next to the Brooklyn Family Courthouse in
downtown Brooklyn, opened in 2005.
