Summary

This item approves the 2025-2026 Community Corrections Partnership Plan for Lake County. This plan outlines how the county will manage and allocate funding received through California's Public Safety Realignment (AB109), which shifted responsibility for supervising certain non-violent offenders from the state to counties. The plan details the roles and funding for various county departments, including Probation, Sheriff's Department, Behavioral Health, Public Health, and the District Attorney's Office.

Key Allocations:

• Probation Department: $1,812,691
• Sheriff’s Department: $1,412,120
• Public Health: $873,196
• Behavioral Health: $420,694
• District Attorney: $260,000

The plan emphasizes evidence-based practices, rehabilitation programs, and collaboration between agencies to reduce recidivism and improve public safety. A significant portion of the supervised population resides in or around Clearlake and Lower Lake, with a notable percentage reporting homelessness.

Citizen Impact

This plan directs funding towards programs aimed at rehabilitating individuals on probation and parole, with the goal of reducing re-offending. Residents may see impacts through increased public safety efforts and the provision of services like mental health and substance abuse treatment for justice-involved individuals.
