NEVADA CITY, Calif. — October 1, 2026 — Community Beyond Violence (CBV) has officially opened the doors to its new Nevada City office, located at 208 Providence Mine Road, Suite #222, marking an exciting new chapter for the organization and the survivors and families it serves.
Earlier this month, CBV celebrated the milestone with a well-attended ribbon-cutting ceremony that brought together community members, supporters, local leaders, and community partners.
“We were so happy to see so many people come out to celebrate this new space with us,” said Allison Bischofberger, Executive Director of Community Beyond Violence. “Community Beyond Violence has always relied on strong partnerships, and having so many of our supporters, community partners, and local leaders there made the day especially meaningful. We’re excited about this next chapter and what it will allow us to do for survivors and our community.”
The celebration included Nevada City Councilmember Adam Kline and John Baggett, Nevada County Superintendent of Schools, along with representatives from the offices of California State Senator Megan Dahle and Assemblymember Heather Hadwick.
CBV was also honored to receive special signed certificates recognizing this important milestone from the offices of Assemblymember Heather Hadwick and Senator Megan Dahle. We are grateful for their recognition and continued support of Community Beyond Violence and the work we do in our community.
CBV also extends a heartfelt thank you to the team at CalFire Nevada-Yuba-Placer for their incredible help moving the organization into its new home. Their support made the transition possible, and CBV is deeply grateful for their partnership.
For nearly 50 years, Community Beyond Violence has stood alongside survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, providing essential advocacy, resources, and support to individuals and families throughout Western Nevada County. The new office provides a dedicated, welcoming space where staff can work together, meet with community partners, and continue providing critical services to survivors of interpersonal violence.
In 2025, Community Beyond Violence provided 1,099 services to survivors, answered 1,149 crisis line calls, served 773 survivors, provided 3,416 nights of emergency shelter, and
facilitated 4,585 counseling sessions. The organization also provided legal advocacy, including assistance with restraining orders, to hundreds of survivors.
Community Beyond Violence works with community partners to provide survivors with the best possible services to guide them in their recovery. The organization also works with the County, the courts, and law enforcement to advocate for positive change in the systems that perpetuate interpersonal violence.
CBV is grateful to everyone who joined in celebrating this important milestone and to the donors, volunteers, community partners, local leaders, and supporters whose commitment makes this work possible.
As CBV begins this next chapter from its new home, the organization looks forward to continuing to serve survivors and the Western Nevada County community for many years to come.
