On June 24, 2025, the LA County Board of Supervisors approved Year 5 allocations to further advance Los Angeles County’s Care First, Jails Last vision using direct community investments and funding for alternatives to incarceration. The Year 5 allocations build upon the Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4 CFCI investments (including American Rescue Plan Act funding). Funding is distributed in two ways: 1) via County Departments; and 2) via a Third-Party Administrator. In Year 5 the Third-Party Administrator is responsible for distributing one-time funding awards to service providers.
Through official LA County processes four organizations have been selected to act as Third-Party Administrators (TPA) including Heluna Health to manage and distribute a portion of funds included in the CFCI spending plans. In Year 5, all Program Areas have been defined to the goal of equitably increasing access to funds for organizations fulfilling the purpose of Care First Community Investment. Additionally, priority is given to organizations that have historically experienced barriers to accessing County funding. All CFCI funds shall be used to transform Los Angeles County with programs that serve chronically under-resourced communities and address negative outcomes caused by racially driven criminal legal system inequities and long-term economic disinvestment.
