Through federal grant awards from the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Public Defender Association has operated programs like Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) and Coordinated Outreach, Linkage and Engagement (COLEAD) in Seattle/King County, Washington. LEAD aims to reduce crime and disorder associated with unmet behavioral health needs and homelessness by diverting individuals away from the criminal justice system and into community-based support services, providing case management, referrals to behavioral health resources and legal services, and community education. COLEAD mitigates identified homeless encampments by offering outreach, needs assessments, shelter placement, wraparound stabilization services, and transition to permanent housing for unhoused individuals with complex behavioral health conditions at high risk of criminal justice involvement. Additionally, COLEAD distributes harm reduction/overdose prevention supplies, enrolls participants in Medicaid/Medicare, and places individuals in permanent supportive housing, serving as an alternative to 911 for responding to unmet behavioral health needs. Public Defender Association has also provided training and technical assistance on LEAD implementation through sub-awards from other prime grantees.
