Thanks to a new state grant, Berkeley is launching an ambitious "post-arrest diversion pathway" to serve unhoused individuals and others with mental health and substance use needs.

The $8 million "no-match grant," with funding spread over three years, will have "no impact on the City’s General Fund," according to a recent staff report.

Here's the plan.
