The Justice Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD) is the County’s new central agency unifying LA County’s efforts to serve vulnerable justice-impacted people and communities and drive forward the Board of Supervisors’ vision of Care First, Jails Last. Policies and programs developed offer a roadmap to divert people away from the criminal justice system, interrupt the path towards the criminal justice, and provide services to those in need. |
The success of these efforts hinges on expanding a strong pool of qualified, community-based service providers who can deliver qualified care. That is why ATI launched the Incubation Academy. Designed and implemented by LISC LA and LISC's Safety & Justice team, the Incubation Academy provides training and technical assistance to small, grassroots organizations that have historically been performing these services but have faced challenges obtaining government contracts and funding. Expanding the capacity of service providers is foundational to justice reform efforts countywide. Los Angeles County is committed to its vision of Care First, Jails Last and treatments to more people. If you're interested in participating in the Academy, click here to apply. |
