Description:
Lancaster County is expanding its jail diversion program to include individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses (SPMI) who are eligible for Community Corrections' Pre-Trial Services or Adult Drug Court Programs. This population has not historically been served by these programs due to a lack of adequate resources for persons with an SPMI. The grantee plans to increase service capacity and serve approximately 65-80 consumers per year who have committed misdemenor, as well as non-violent felony offenses.
