Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Mental Health Diversion Program's goal is to address the needs of the underserved population living with mental illness who have become involved in the criminal justice system.
This program addresses the needs of individuals who have committed crimes based on their mental illness, including substance-use disorders. The Yolo County District Attorney's Office contracts with CommuniCare+OLE to provide these services.
Based on the budget submitted by CommuniCare+OLE for FY2024-2025, the Yolo County District Attorney's Office requested funding in the amount of $339,159. These funds would come from CCP Treatment. On April 8, 2024, funding for CommuniCare+OLE was approved by the CCP Board. When the recommended budget was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 11, 2024, $300,000 was budgeted for the CommuniCare+OLE agreement. The Yolo County District Attorney's Office did not increase the funding to $339,159 with the adopted budget, approved September 24, 2024 by the Board of Supervisors. On September 24, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement No. 24-267 with CommuniCare+OLE for the amount of $339,159 (Att. B).
