Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Proposition 47 Grant funds target a reduction in recidivism by expanding access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and trauma-informed intensive case management, peer support, housing, and other wrap-around supportive services for adults with a history of SUD and current or recent justice system involvement, with an emphasis on individuals experiencing homelessness. The project aims to improve the behavioral health of participants with identified behavioral health needs through engagement in appropriate services and reduced risk/harm related to ongoing substance use; increase the self-sufficiency of participants through secured stable housing, improved income, and enrollment in health insurance; and reduce the justice system involvement for participants through prevention of further justice system involvement and diversion in which participants may have their SUD-related charge dismissed.
Target population includes adults with a history of SUD or Co-occurring Disorders (COD) who have (1) been arrested for low-level drug possession or public intoxication and are eligible for Harm Reduction Diversion or (2) been arrested in the prior three years and either entered Yolo County’s Crisis Now receiving/sobering center with a SUD-related crisis through pre-arrest contact with specialized law enforcement units or were identified directly by homeless outreach teams. As a wraparound program with housing support, the target population includes individuals who are also experiencing homelessness. This population was identified due to their justice system overrepresentation and evidence of unmet BH and housing needs.
The components of the project that will be operated by Community-Based Partners include:
