Board approves Community Corrections Partnership plan, funds treatment and reentry programs
Summary
The Board of Supervisors accepted final CCP recommendations for FY 2026–2028, including funding for the public defender, pilot treatment beds and reentry services; supervisors approved recommended actions A–D unanimously.
The Board of Supervisors voted May 12 to accept the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) plan and funding recommendations for the upcoming fiscal period.
Holly Benton, head of probation, and Spencer (CCP lead) described the plan’s priorities—reducing recidivism, expanding treatment and supervision in the community, and targeted pilot programs including reserved treatment beds and reentry supports. The CCP recommended continued funding for several evidence-based programs and a $1.3 million increase in targeted expenditures, supported by the presentation’s budget exhibits.
Supervisors discussed performance tracking, transportation barriers for clients and the committee’s prioritization process. The plan includes a 3‑year allocation to the public defender’s Ready program and funds to continue priority projects under a limited-sustainability model. The board approved the recommended actions (A–D) unanimously and directed staff to present periodic progress updates to the CCP and the full board.
