History:
Community Violence Solutions began as The Rape Crisis Center of West Contra Costa in 1974. It was incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization in 1977. Since then, the agency has grown significantly, both in its scope of services and geographic area served. Today, CVS serves all of Contra Costa and Marin Counties through a variety of specialized programs. In 2002, the agency name was changed to Community Violence Solutions to better reflect the range of services provided and our commitment to breaking the cycle of violence.
