Community Beyond Violence (CBV) is Nevada County's domestic violence and sexual assault agency, based in Grass Valley. They serve survivors of interpersonal violence — partner abuse, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking — and their families. All services are free and confidential.

What they offer

  • 24-hour crisis line: (530) 272-3467 — call any time, day or night, for safety planning, emotional support, or to talk through options. No need to be in immediate danger to call.
  • Walk-in client services: No appointment needed. The Client Service Center at 1020 McCourtney Road, Suite C, Grass Valley is open weekdays 9am–5pm.
  • Emergency shelter and housing case management for people fleeing violence.
  • Legal advocacy and court accompaniment: help filing restraining orders, navigating family court, and accompanying clients to hearings.
  • Personal advocacy: safety planning, accompaniment to medical exams and police interviews, help connecting to other services.
  • Spanish-speaking advocates available.

When to reach out

Call the crisis line if you're not safe, if you're not sure whether what's happening counts as abuse, or if you just need someone to talk it through with. You don't have to be ready to leave — they meet people where they are.
For non-crisis questions (volunteering, donations, scheduling): business line (530) 272-2046.

Update: CBV's own emergency shelter (18 beds)

  • KARE Crisis Nursery closed on November 30, 2025, after 20 years serving Nevada County families. KARE chose CBV to receive its assets, including the Nevada City home KARE had bought for its nursery.
  • With that gift, CBV opened its first emergency shelter of its own: 18 beds for survivors and their children. CBV has served the community since 1978, and until now it had always rented shelter space. The ribbon cutting was November 13, 2025.
  • To ask about shelter, call the 24-hour crisis line, (530) 272-3467. The county's announcement places the shelter only in "Western Nevada County"; CBV does not publish the address.
