Justice, Care & Opportunities Department: Amity’s Partnership with Los Angeles County
Our Approach
Transformative change starts in our communities, but requires collaboration with policymakers at every level of government to achieve broad implementation. That’s why Amity Foundation works closely with the Los Angeles County Justice, Care, and Opportunities Department (JCOD) to expand opportunities for justice-impacted individuals, families, and communities.
Amity Foundation has built a long-standing partnership with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), that is integral to our focus on placing people at the center of the justice system. Our MCRP and FCRP campuses reflect CDCR’s commitment to investing in proven alternatives to incarceration, and the steps we are taking together to advance rehabilitation, accountability, and safer, healthier communities.
Overview
Together, these efforts support L.A. County’s historic leadership through investments to reduce incarceration, strengthen reentry support, and empower communities.
Care First Community Investment Grants
As the Third Party Administrator (TPA) for the Care First Community Investment (CFCI) Care Grants, Amity helps identify and deliver grant funding to programs that provide case management, workforce development, youth services, creative opportunities, and other resources that foster hope and healing for those most impacted by the justice system.
JCOD STOP Program
Through JCOD Specialized Treatment for Optimized Programming (STOP), Amity connects currently and recently incarcerated individuals in Los Angeles County with targeted, evidence-based services that support recovery and reentry.
