One Place, a Jacksonville nonprofit that provides family services and child victim care, will use the $2 million dollar grant from the State Employees Credit Union Foundation to build a new facility.

The grant does require the organization to raise matching funds.

The construction will allow them to help more children by having housing, mental health services, prevention, and victim care all at one location.

A groundbreaking is scheduled for next June and the building is expected to be completed by spring of 2025.
