We welcome input and guidance to help inform the launch and ongoing development of resources and materials for the Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) Incubation Academy. The Academy aims to help small to mid-size community-based organizations scale their capacity to address the County’s shortage of much-needed treatment and services for justice-involved individuals. As the County shifts its focus away from incarcerating low-level offenders and toward providing care and services when appropriate, these community-based organizations are crucial to its success. These are the organizations that will provide beds to those in mental health crises, help rehouse homeless people, provide treatment and counseling to those who are diverted from possible incarceration, and find employment and other services.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.
