Project Summary

Tuolumne County’s Proposition 47 initiative will expand diversion and treatment options for individuals with substance use and mental health disorders, particularly those with treatment mandated felonies under Proposition 36. In partnership with GEO Reentry Services, Nancy’s Hope, and other trusted community providers, the County will deliver a coordinated model of outpatient treatment, housing support, employment services, and intensive case management. The project is designed to reduce justice system involvement through early intervention, individualized care, and strong community partnerships. Notably, 80% of total grant funds will be passed through to community-based organizations, demonstrating a deep investment in community-led solutions and long-term stability for participants. The County will also leverage Medi-Cal, Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), and Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) funds to enhance capacity and sustainability.

Section 1: Project Need

Tuolumne County faces distinct challenges as a rural jurisdiction with a limited behavioral health infrastructure and significant reentry barriers for individuals with criminal justice involvement. At the center of this challenge is the Proposition 36 population which includes individuals charged with drug offenses under Health and Safety Code §11395, which applies to those with two or more prior convictions for controlled substance use or possession. Within Tuolumne County, initial screening and risk assessment results show these individuals present with long-standing patterns of substance use, untreated mental health needs, and multiple justice system contacts, often resulting in prior felony convictions and frequent incarcerations. They face a steep trajectory toward state prison if not stabilized through timely, coordinated, and individualized treatment and services.

Proposition 36 candidates display numerous criminogenic risk factors: antisocial attitudes, criminal thinking patterns, substance dependence, generational trauma, high numbers of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), unstable housing, and a lack of pro-social supports. Without structured programming, it is anticipated many will continue to cycle through the local jail, court, and probation systems with high failure-to-appear rates and persistent violations. Since January 1, 2025, Tuolumne County has recorded 44 individuals meeting the Proposition 36 criteria, which constitutes 12% of new felony bookings per Tuolumne County Jail records. Of these, 20 formal referrals have been made to the newly formed Proposition 36 Treatment Court. Over half of these referrals required high-intensity residential treatment programs lasting 60 to 90 days. Tuolumne County’s Proposition 36 Treatment Court uses the Collaborative Court Model informed by best practice approaches similar to what is used for the local Drug Court program.

This structure recognizes the importance of addressing underlying issues that contribute to criminal behavior such as substance use disorders, mental illness, trauma, or housing instability. These collaborative efforts bring together Judges, Attorneys, Probation Officers, treatment providers, and other stakeholders to focus on individualized programs and services rather than relying solely on traditional punitive measures.

Individuals who qualify for Proposition 36 in Tuolumne County face compounded barriers that may prevent successful reentry. They are disproportionately affected by homelessness, poverty, and behavioral health disorders. According to current Tuolumne County Jail data, 54% of the jail population is transient or unsheltered. Many individuals lack basic identification documents, health insurance, income, or a permanent residence, making it nearly impossible to comply with treatment conditions or secure employment. Additionally, the county has minimal public transportation options, and behavioral health services are largely restricted to Medi-Cal-eligible clients, and many private providers are unable to accept new patients.

Treatment resources, particularly Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and residential programs, are extremely limited within the county. Most MAT and inpatient services are located out of town, and access to these services is hindered by transportation challenges, funding restrictions, and fragmented referral systems. Only a limited number of local providers are equipped to handle individuals with complex co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.

Since 2018, Tuolumne County has seen a 350% increase in annual overdose deaths. In 2024 alone, 18 of the county’s 21 overdose fatalities were linked to fentanyl. Individuals eligible for Proposition 36, many of whom struggle with chronic addiction, face a heightened risk of fatal overdose if left untreated. The absence of a stable, adequately resourced Proposition 36 treatment program places these individuals at continued risk of recidivism and incarceration. Without timely access to wraparound services such as residential treatment, MAT, peer mentorship, housing assistance, and practical supports like help obtaining transportation or employment, these high-risk individuals are likely to reoffend or return to custody. A well-coordinated Proposition 36 model with rapid linkage to services, person-centered care, and dedicated case management is essential for breaking this cycle.

The target population for this grant includes adults eligible under Proposition 36 who are individuals with multiple prior drug convictions who are now facing treatment-mandated felony charges under Health and Safety Code §11395. These individuals are disproportionately burdened by homelessness, untreated behavioral health conditions, and a lack of access to services. They represent a traditionally underserved and high-risk group in need of structured intervention to reduce the likelihood of ongoing criminal behavior and repeated incarceration.

The need for expanded treatment programming is urgent and growing. Without sustained investment in Proposition 36-aligned services and infrastructure, Tuolumne County risks exacerbating cycles of addiction, criminal behavior, and incarceration. This proposal aligns with the intent of Proposition 47 by focusing on mental health treatment, substance use disorder recovery, and diversion programming that reduces recidivism, strengthens community safety, and creates equitable opportunities for long-term rehabilitation.

Section 2: Community Engagement

The Tuolumne County Prop 47 Local Advisory Committee (LAC) was convened with urgency and purpose, bringing together committed partners to collaborate on a shared goal: expanding coordinated treatment-based services for the Proposition 36 population to reduce incarceration and recidivism. While the timeline was compressed, key stakeholders were directly engaged and asked to serve on the Tuolumne County LAC based on their operational knowledge, agency roles, and shared investment in justice system reform.

The Tuolumne County LAC includes department heads from the Probation Department, County Behavioral Health, and the District Attorney’s Office, along with representatives from the Superior Court, Sheriff’s Office, Nancy’s Hope Community Center, GEO Reentry Services, and Mother Lode Job Training. These partners bring distinct operational perspectives and a longstanding history of collaboration around diversion, reentry, and behavioral health needs. Members contributed their expertise to ensure the proposal reflects practical, coordinated strategies that prioritize early intervention, treatment engagement and participation, and service navigation for individuals at risk of cycling through the justice system.

Tuolumne County LAC members met throughout June 2025 to help shape the proposal, providing input on referral pathways, service gaps, and opportunities to improve continuity of care for the target population. This collaboration directly informed the project’s structure, including its focus on timely screening, cross-agency data sharing, and expansion of evidenced based programming.

While not a member of the Tuolumne County LAC, a Behavioral Health Peer Specialist I/II will serve in a direct support role, offering peer-to-peer assistance that helps individuals and families navigate services, access resources, and work toward recovery.

This role is critical in bridging the gap between clients and systems, particularly for individuals mandated to treatment under Proposition 36.

The Tuolumne County LAC will continue to meet quarterly during the grant term to monitor progress, address implementation challenges, and support alignment across partner agencies. Meetings will be publicly noticed and held at rotating sites to encourage visibility and accessibility. A complete membership roster and signed Letters of Agreement are included as Attachments C and D.

Section 3. Project Description

This Proposition 47 initiative is a coordinated, multi-agency response designed to support justice-involved individuals with underlying substance use and mental health needs through an integrated network of Court, Probation, Behavioral Health, and community-based services. The project strengthens local capacity to divert individuals from incarceration and connect them to trauma-informed, individualized treatment pathways, specifically for those eligible under Proposition 36.

Participants will be referred through the Superior Court, Probation Department, and crisis response teams, then screened using validated, trauma-informed tools such as American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria for substance use severity, the Brief Questionnaire for Initial Placement (BQUIP) for service level needs, the Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) for criminogenic risk, and the Criminal Thinking Scale (CTS) to evaluate cognitive patterns associated with criminal behavior. Eligible defendants charged under H&S §11395 may opt into Proposition 36 Treatment Court, triggering a coordinated assessment and referral process based on risk level, Medi-Cal eligibility, and individual service needs. Upon entering a plea and waiving sentencing, participants engage in a 12 to 18-month treatment plan with regular court reviews.

This streamlined, responsive approach ensures timely connection to appropriate services and supports early intervention. The Assistant Presiding Judge has been a longtime advocate for collaborative court models in Tuolumne County, helping lead efforts to expand treatment-focused alternatives to incarceration. With that vision in mind, the Tuolumne County Superior Court has played an active role in the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP), working closely with Probation, Behavioral Health, and community stakeholders to develop programs that prioritize rehabilitation, accountability, and public safety. The Court’s ongoing collaboration through the CCP reflects a strong commitment to innovation and partnership in addressing the root causes of criminal behavior.

The Superior Court Program Manager (funded entirely by the Superior Court) will coordinate treatment referrals for all eligible participants and ensure placement into appropriate services. Depending on insurance coverage, treatment will be directed to private insurance providers or Medi-Cal, respectively. This allows the program to maximize use of external funding and preserve grant resources for those not otherwise covered. The Court plays an active role in supporting participant success, and its close partnership with the treatment team, through regular staffing meetings and individualized case discussions, helps ensure responsive interventions and increases the likelihood of positive outcomes.

Utilizing grant funds, residential treatment services and/or MAT will be made available for participants requiring a higher level of care. While specific providers are not named at this time, the Superior Court maintains MOUs with trusted facilities, allowing for prompt placement. Leveraged CCP funds will supplement these efforts by expanding access and ensuring flexibility in treatment options. It is important to note that many participants eligible for residential treatment will be covered entirely through Medi-Cal.

While we are unable to precisely calculate the value of these leveraged Medi-Cal dollars at this time, they represent a significant and essential contribution to the service delivery model. The availability of Medi-Cal reimbursement will play a critical role in maximizing residential placement capacity and sustaining long-term treatment engagement.

Treatment providers include GEO Reentry Services, Tuolumne County Behavioral Health, the MEWU:YA Indian Health Clinic, and other residential treatment partners.

Residential placements are likely to be made to programs such as Turning Point, Nirvana, More to Life Recovery, DODAAW Ranch Recovery Center, or Teen Challenge based on existing MOUs.

The Probation Department is requesting grant support for 0.5 FTE of a Senior Deputy Probation Officer, with the other 0.5 FTE funded through existing county revenue, demonstrating the County’s commitment to leveraging existing funds to expand supervision and coordination capacity under this project. Probation will administer drug testing and electronic monitoring (both alcohol and GPS), maintain program oversight, and ensure consistent supervision aligned with treatment goals. Additionally, Probation Officers are trained in Motivational Interviewing which supports reentry and rehabilitation efforts by building trust, reducing resistance, and strengthening individuals’ internal motivation to engage in treatment, make positive choices, and successfully reintegrate into the community. To strengthen staff capacity, Probation and other partners mentioned in this grant application will utilize leveraged Community Corrections Partnership funds to attend training events focused on collaborative court practices, such as those hosted by All Rise, the California Association of Collaborative Courts, or equivalent organizations.

Tuolumne County Behavioral Health (BH) will assign a 0.3 FTE Recovery Counselor II to provide direct behavioral health services, including case management, mental health assessments, and coordination of outpatient treatment services. The position will serve as the primary clinical point of contact for participants with co-occurring disorders and will assist with warm handoffs between justice and behavioral health systems. The position is currently budgeted at the Recovery Counselor II level based on the staff member presently assigned to this role. However, in the event of staff vacancies, absences, or increased demand, other Behavioral Health personnel—including Behavioral Health Workers, Case Managers, or Licensed Clinicians—may be assigned to fulfill the responsibilities and maintain continuity of care. The remaining 0.7 FTE of the position will be leveraged through Medi-Cal and Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funding, with Prop 47 funds used to expand capacity specific to the Prop 36 felony population as court activities are not reimbursable. County Behavioral Health levels of care are identified through screenings such as comprehensive behavioral health assessments, California Advancing and Navigating SUDs (CANs), and American

Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). Treatment plans and service range vary, include both mental health, substance use disorder outpatient & intensive outpatient services, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), case management, residential, relapse crisis intervention and access to full-service partnership and housing for those meeting program criteria.

Mother Lode Job Training (MLJT) has submitted a Proposition 47 Cohort 5 grant application in partnership with the Regional Workforce Development Board through a separate public agency lead. While funding is still pending, MLJT’s proposed project includes services that would directly serve individuals in Tuolumne County. In anticipation of a successful award, we are listing their contribution as leveraged funds.

MLJT’s project will provide intensive workforce development and peer-based reentry services to justice-involved individuals, aligning closely with the goals of Tuolumne County’s Prop 47 initiative. Services will include individualized career planning, paid work-based learning opportunities, peer mentorship, and reentry navigation addressing a critical service gap in rural employment support and recovery services. These efforts are valued at $500,000 and represent a significant in-kind contribution to the success of the broader Prop 47 framework in the region.

As part of this project, Nancy’s Hope will provide a robust range of client support services, including but not limited to emergency assistance for utilities, transportation, grocery cards, hygiene kits, fines/fees, program-related costs, and emergency or rapid rehousing. A major focus will be paid employment for Prop 47 participants to foster financial stability and promote reintegration. Staffing includes one 1.0 FTE position and part-time employment to deliver services and maintain consistent client support.

GEO Reentry Services will lead the implementation of Proposition 36 programming, providing a full-time substance use counselor, community navigator, and education/employment coordinator. The Substance Use Counselor will provide individualized SUD assessments and evidence-based treatment at the Day Reporting Center (DRC), using curricula like Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Substance Use Adults (CBI-SUA) in a group setting to promote sustained recovery. The Employment and Education Coordinator will implement a tiered workforce program, guiding participants through workshops, skills development, and job placement support based on individual needs and goals. The Community Navigator will deliver mobile outreach, focusing on pre-release planning and immediate post-release engagement to reduce barriers such as transportation and unmet basic needs, helping participants access services and stay connected to care. Their model integrates cognitive-behavioral interventions, vocational preparation, and structured case management with consistent assessment using the ASAM, ORAS, and CTS tools. GEO will also pilot the use of pretrial screening tools to prepare for an anticipated expansion of Proposition 36 eligibility to individuals in pretrial custody.

Service delivery will occur through a combination of on-site programming at community-based organization hubs and mobile outreach. Case managers will work closely with each participant, maintaining a targeted 1:5 caseload ratio to ensure individualized care.

Lived-experience staff and restorative justice facilitators will be embedded in service teams to facilitate trust, cultural alignment, and accountability.

Early implementation activities will include executing MOUs with partner agencies, finalizing contracts, and establishing data-sharing protocols to support coordination across systems. The Court has already established MOUs with several treatment providers, allowing services to begin without delay and supporting a streamlined launch of program operations.

This project proposal is designed to reduce recidivism by improving access to services for individuals with mental health and substance use disorder needs, while addressing the barriers that often delay or prevent engagement. Built on strong partnerships between justice, treatment, and community agencies, the project focuses on timely connection to care and support that promotes successful reintegration and reduces the likelihood of further justice system involvement.

Section 4: Data Collection and Evaluation

Tuolumne County Probation Department will lead the evaluation of the Proposition 47 project, coordinating closely with partner agencies to collect and analyze relevant data.

Formalized data-sharing agreements will be established with Probation, the Behavioral Health Department, Tuolumne County Superior Court, District Attorney, and key community-based organizations. All data will be encrypted or have identifying information redacted to protect participant confidentiality and used to support continuous quality improvement.

The evaluation framework will include both process and outcome measures. Probation will track program engagement, service delivery, and participant outcomes throughout the grant period. Key indicators include referrals, recidivism, program completion, housing status, employment status, and engagement in treatment and supportive services.

Recidivism will be measured using Probation and District Attorney records to identify any new arrests or convictions occurring within three years of program enrollment.

Housing stability will be evaluated by comparing participants’ living situations at entry and exit, with updates tracked by both justice system partners and community-based organizations. Employment outcomes will be assessed through changes in employment status over the course of the program, using a combination of participant self-reports and employer verification. Engagement in substance use and mental health treatment will be monitored by tracking the number of sessions attended, with data provided by Behavioral Health, GEO Reentry, the Court, and partnering community-based organizations. To streamline communication and ensure consistent data sharing, Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) will be established with key partners as needed.

The Probation Department is fully prepared to meet all BSCC evaluation requirements, including timely submission of quarterly progress reports, the Local Evaluation Plan, and the final Local Evaluation Report. Partner agencies including Behavioral Health, the Superior Court, District Attorney, and community-based organizations have been actively involved in project planning and are aware of the grant’s data tracking and reporting expectations. All partners are committed to collecting, maintaining, and sharing required data to ensure the project is effectively monitored and continuously improved.

Although initial planning considered use of grant funds, the project team has chosen to fully leverage Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) funds and other local dollars to support this travel. This funding approach allows for greater flexibility and increases the likelihood of approval for out-of-state travel while preserving grant resources for core service delivery. Leveraged funding will cover travel expenses including registration, transportation, lodging, and per diem for eligible government personnel.

Participation in the RISE Conference will strengthen the capacity of Tuolumne County’s justice partners to implement integrated, evidence-based responses to individuals with mental health and substance use needs involved in the criminal justice system.

8b. Indirect Costs Narrative:

Indirect costs are necessary shared expenses that support the administrative functions and infrastructure required to implement and manage the Proposition 47 project. These costs include utilities, office supplies, administrative support salaries, and associated fringe benefits. While not directly tied to a specific program activity, these overhead expenses are essential to ensure effective coordination, fiscal management, and compliance monitoring.

Tuolumne County Probation, as the lead agency, will absorb the primary burden of administrative oversight, but indirect support functions are shared across multiple government partners involved in the project. These include time and resources from fiscal offices, program leadership, and administrative personnel within Behavioral Health, the Superior Court, and the District

Attorney’s Office. These collective efforts ensure the infrastructure is in place to manage interagency coordination, reporting, and accountability.

For government agencies participating in this project, indirect costs were calculated using a 15% indirect cost rate applied to eligible government agency expenditures—not the total grant award. Each community-based organization (CBO) included in this proposal factored in its own administrative and indirect costs individually, and therefore was not included in the government indirect calculation.

All indirect costs for Tuolumne County are based on the County’s internal cost allocation methodology and supported by documented estimates of time, space, and resource usage attributable to the grant. Detailed records will be maintained and made available upon request, in alignment with BSCC requirements.
