PUBLIC SAFETY GROUP - PROPOSITION 47 GRANT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND SINGLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT FOR EVALUATION SERVICES (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
Proposition 47 was a voter-approved initiative in November of 2014 that reduced certain felony

used to fund housing support and connections to mental health and substance abuse treatment programs to reduce recidivism of people in the justice system. On April 5, 2022 (2), the Board approved the submission of an application for the Proposition 47 Grant Program. On July 25, 2022, the California Board of State and Community Corrections awarded a total of $6,000,000 to the County of San Diego as the Lead Agency for a three-year regional proposal.
Today's request includes the addition of a total of three staff years, (1.0) in the Public Safety Group and (2.0) in the Health and Human Services Agency for program development, implementation and coordination of the Proposition 47 Grant Program, and authorization for a single source procurement of program evaluation services. The Proposition 47 Grant Program will support a comprehensive service design including substance use disorder treatment, case management, connections to housing and employment, and supportive services for persons convicted of misdemeanor offenses.
