We continue to maintain our commitment to this critical investment despite the legal challenges that underlie ballot Measure J. For Year 1 (2020), The Board approved an unprecedented $187.

7 million spending package for direct community investments and funding for alternatives to incarceration—accelerating the transformative process of creating a more just and equitable Los Angeles County for all residents. Years 2 and 3 have further advanced that mission, with an additional $100 million and $88. 3 million allocated respectively.

3 million CFCI Spending Plan——with Year 3 allocations to further advance Los Angeles County’s “Care First, Jails Last” vision. This third annual investment adds to the first and second year’s CFCI investment of $287. 7 million funding, with the total CFCI investment now at $376 million .

The approved spending plan, developed with an equity lens, funds all 45 programs recommended by the Care First Community Investment Advisory Committee. This 23-member committee held marathon public meetings and engaged the community via listening sessions, a community survey and the engagement of trusted community-based organizations.

The result is a plan that focuses on chronically under-resourced communities, and will address negative outcomes caused by racially-driven criminal justice inequities and long-term community economic disinvestment. Highlights of the funding plan include: Over $58 million will be administered by a Third-Party Administrator with the majority of funds passing through to community-based organizations.

Over $32 million will be dedicated to programs prioritizing youth development. Over $18 million will support rental assistance and housing for our most vulnerable populations. Over $13 million will provide access to funding for small, minority-owned businesses.

Over $9 million will fund job training and employment. Over $7 million will go towards restorative justice. Over $5 million will support community-based health services.

Over $1 million will fund programs for non-carceral diversion or to support residents returning to the community after incarceration. View the full details of the Year 3 programs & spending plan here .

On November 3rd, 2020, LA County voters approve Measure J. 2021: From Vision to Action In the year following Measure J being passed, the Board establishes the Re-Imagine LA Advisory Committee.

The Committee is charged with developing spending proposals for the Measure J investment. Over the course of 2021, the Committee and Board collaborate and successfully develop an allocation methodology. Despite legal challenges to Measure J, the Board remains committed to the vision set forth in the Measure.

In August of 2021, they vote to transform the Measure J Reimagine Advisory Committee into the Care First and Community Investment Advisory Committee. 2022: A New Department is Launched On November 1st 2022, The Justice, Care, and Opportunities Department (JCOD) launches to to unify the County’s efforts to serve vulnerable justice-impacted people and communities and drive forward the Board’s “Care First, Jails Last” vision.
