Description: The CA Governor's 2011 Public Safety Realignment required each county to develop Community Corrections Plan to address the local impacts of this legislation. A primary element of Humboldt County's plan was the implementation of a Community Corrections Resource Center as a "one-stop-shop" to meet the diverse needs of this new, high-risk population that was placed under County supervision. The CCRC houses an interagency collaborative program providing correctional supervision, substance abuse and mental health assessment and treatment, and vocational services, as well as linkages to community-based services. The intent of this program is to reduce barriers to accessing needed services in order to reduce an offender's likelihood to commit a new offense, thereby increasing public safety.
