Section 1.1: The Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office (CAO), in partnership with Exodus Recovery, Inc. (Exodus), seeks Proposition 47 grant funding to create SaMo Bridge, a diversion program that addresses the behavioral health, substance abuse issues and housing needs of justice-involved adults in the Santa Monica community to reduce recidivism.
SaMo Bridge will provide people who are stuck at the intersection of criminal justice involvement, unmet behavioral health needs and homelessness, a bridge into services. SaMo Bridge will create a no-barrier 24/7 respite hub where the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) can divert people to immediate and long-term treatment and housing services during law enforcement contacts at the pre-arrest, post-arrest and pre-filing stages of law enforcement involvement.
Multiple data points underscore the need in Santa Monica for more resources that provide a pre-arrest, post-arrest and pre-filing diversion option for SMPD to route people into supportive services.
- There is a high degree of contact between law enforcement and people experiencing homelessness (PEH). PEH are approximately 1% of the Santa Monica population, but represented 18% of total SMPD calls for service in 2023. - PEH are arrested more often than people with housing. From 2019-2023, SMPD documented that 66% of 12,147 arrestees were experiencing homeless. - The number of PEH in Santa Monica remains consistent, suggesting that even increased local and regional investments are insufficient. Over the past five years, Santa Monica's homeless count fluctuated from 1,002 people in 2018 to 926 in 2023. - According to the annual US Department of Housing and Urban Development Point-in-Time Count administered by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the LA region continues to see increasing numbers of PEH, putting more pressure on local resources. - From 2019 to 2023, the regional homeless count increased 35% from 52,765 to 71,320 people. Pressure on the westside of Los Angeles, where Santa Monica is located, is increasing rapidly - recording a 45% increase in the homeless count between 2022 and 2023. - A substantial portion of PEH are impacted by mental health needs and/or substance use disorder. A 2019 report by the California Policy Lab, found that 78% of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness reported mental health conditions and 75% had substance abuse conditions. (California Policy Lab, Health Conditions Among Unsheltered Adults in the U.S.) Gaps in Services that Contribute to the Need: The City of Santa Monica has a long history of investing in social services and embracing the movement toward social justice reform. The City is especially focused on the behavioral health needs of community members experiencing homelessness and reducing the frequency this population interacts with law enforcement and the criminal justice system. However, community needs outpace available resources and gaps in the local service delivery system enable recidivism to continue. Through Prop 47 program funding, SaMo Bridge is poised to make significant inroads in addressing this gap in services.
The gap in diversion services is connected to three issues: (1) Social service business hours are limited compared to law enforcement round-the-clock operations. For example, the City’s multiple mental health co-response resources are only in service Monday – Thursday 5:00 am – 5:30 pm and Friday 9:00 am – 5:30 pm. (2) When SMPD’s mental health co-responders are engaged in a client interaction, writing holds or transporting to acute mental health services, they are unable to respond to other calls for service from SMPD which prevents diversion until the resource is freed up again. (3) There are program eligibility barriers that prevent SMPD from diverting people to available programs. For example, the LA County Alternatives to Incarceration program in the SMPD jail has a number of exclusionary criteria related to past criminal history and is limited to enrolling people at the pre-filing stage of the criminal justice system.
The described limitations create gaps that perpetuate people becoming involved in the criminal justice system in Santa Monica. When there are no options for diversion, SMPD Officers proceed with standard arrest and booking protocols. These system gaps highlight the need for a 24/7/365 low barrier “place to connect” where SMPD can divert more people during the prearrest, post-arrest and pre-booking contact phases to help people track into behavioral health and housing services. SaMo Bridge will be that place to connect.
Section 1.2: The SaMo Bridge program target population is homeless adults engaged by SMPD who have been arrested, charged with, or convicted of a criminal offense, and have a history of mental health or substance use disorders (“Target Population”).
Based on analysis of 2023 Homeless Count Data from Los Angeles Continuum of Care Service Planning Area 5 (includes Santa Monica) in combination with SMPD arrest data from the past five years, SaMo Bridge client demographics are likely to be:
- Male (87%)
- Ages 18-59 years old (77%), a large portion ages 28-39 years old; - People of color (60%)
- Straight (92%)
The SaMo Bridge program Target Population is measurable through a number of different strategies, described as follows:
SMPD Data: SMPD measures the frequency of law enforcement interactions with people experiencing homelessness across its system: 911 calls, field engagements, citations, arrests and court involvement. This is all collected in SMPD's Computer Aided Dispatch System and Records Management System which will be available as a data source for SaMo Bridge process and outcome measures.
Screening: SMPD officers will screen for potential program candidates by verifying (A) a qualifying criminal offense is either occurring or has occurred in the past, (B) behavioral health history is observed by the officer or endorsed by the program candidate, or (C) candidate is experiencing homelessness. SMPD will provide voluntary transportation to the SaMo Bridge location within Santa Monica and assist the candidate in processing with the Exodus team member as needed.
Program Referral: Exodus will track incoming referrals from SMPD, including SMPD verification that the candidate is justice system connected.
Assessment: Exodus will conduct a brief needs assessment for each individual referred to SaMo Bridge, building on the SMPD referral with documentation of behavioral health history and social service needs. To support case management planning, Exodus will determine if the individual qualifies for City or County-funded social service programs.
Engagement in Services & Documentation: Exodus will collect demographics on people who engage in SaMo Bridge services and maintain client files in its electronic records system. Data from client files will inform program process and outcome measurement.
Section 1.3: People who qualify for SaMo Bridge are facing otherwise insurmountable barriers to getting out of the cycle of criminal justice system involvement and back into stable daily living.
The program’s clientele constitute some of the most underserved populations in the community.
They face the daily challenge of living with untreated behavioral health needs, intergenerational trauma, violence, and poverty; in addition, they live under systemic barriers to stability stemming from institutional racism, criminal history, immigration status, homophobia and other issues that are barriers to accessing education, jobs, healthcare, and housing.
SaMo Bridge staff will start by addressing basic needs - food, water, rest - to help people reset in order to engage in conversations about their immediate, short, and long-term behavioral health and housing needs. Through calming, trauma-informed conversations, Exodus staff will help people begin the process of connecting to social safety net systems and resources that can address unmet needs and prevent recurring law enforcement contact.
Additionally, Santa Monica's Prop 47 Local Advisory Committee will be regularly briefed on demographics of the population served and presenting needs, creating opportunities for stakeholders to provide direction and recommendations on continual process improvement to best meet the needs of the Target Population through SaMo Bridge.
Section 1.4: The needs to be addressed and population to be served through SaMo Bridge carry forward the intent of Proposition 47 to the letter. SaMo Bridge is designed to reduce recidivism of people convicted of less serious crimes who are living with substance abuse and mental health problems and also experiencing homelessness. Santa Monica’s program will directly serve this population by focusing on connecting people to behavioral health treatment and housing resources.
Section 2 Community Engagement
Section 2.2: Santa Monica’s Proposition 47 Local Advisory Committee (LAC) includes a broad list of stakeholders representing a range of departments at City Hall, community-based organizations and community stakeholders. All these stakeholders bring expertise and experience in serving the SaMo Bridge Target Population.
To select LAC members, the City Attorney’s Office (CAO) worked with the City’s Human Services Division (HSD) to conduct a landscape analysis of the City’s internal and external stakeholders whose roles, services and scopes intersect with the community need and Target Population. CAO staff leveraged their insights on stakeholders needed for successful diversion programs and HSD leveraged its multi-decade history working with local nonprofit organizations to ensure the representatives considered for LAC membership were selected through a fair, inclusive and comprehensive process.
LAC members helped to identify and prioritize the most pressing needs to be addressed through Proposition 47 grant funding. Members provided quantitative and qualitative data sets to define the community need and the SaMo Bridge Target Population. LAC members helped identify the strategies, program design and services, and contributed significantly to the development of the grant project. LAC members look forward to continued work together to support SaMo Bridge implementation and ongoing service delivery.
The following City departments are designating representatives to serve as members of the LAC because their work intersects with the design, siting, operations and success of the program: City Manager’s Office, Santa Monica Police Department, Public Works, Office of Emergency Management, Community Development Department, and the Housing & Human Services Department.
The following community partners were selected for the LAC:
Exodus: Currently a City-funded partner and collaborator and the organization selected to operate SaMo Bridge if awarded this Proposition 47 grant; Exodus Recovery, Inc. is a California-based nonprofit organization. Established in 1989, Exodus began with the management of hospital-based inpatient and outpatient programs before expanding into operating mental health intensive outpatient clinics as a contractor with both the Los Angeles and San Diego County Departments of Mental Health. For the LA County Department of Mental Health, Exodus has developed and implemented an Integrated Service Agency Program (PARTNERS), an Adult Targeted Case Management Service Program, a Sidekicks CoOccurring Disorders Program, and an Alcohol and Drug Medi-Cal Contracted Program. Exodus currently provides case management services to criminal defendants participating in the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Rapid Diversion Program and to arrestees referred to treatment as a means of avoiding the filing of criminal charges, as part of the Santa Monica site of the LA County Alternatives to Incarceration program.
CLARE|Matrix: A long-time City-funded partner organization that brings 50 years of expertise delivering an extensive continuum of residential treatment services, and with the recent merger with the Matrix Institute on Addictions, also has 35+ years of experience in outpatient treatment, training and research, and worldwide recognition for its evidence-based Matrix Model.
Clare|Matrix will be a recovery program resource to SaMo Bridge clients.
The People Concern (TPC): A long-time City-funded partner organization that brings 60 years of experience providing a fully integrated system of care – including outreach, interim housing, mental and medical health care, substance abuse services, domestic violence services, life skills & wellness programs, and permanent supportive housing – tailored to the unique needs of homeless individuals, survivors of domestic violence, challenged youth, and others who have nowhere else to turn. TPC operates SAMOSHEL 24/7 Shelter program in Santa Monica and will be a temporary housing resource to SaMo Bridge clients.
Venice Family Clinic (VFC): A long-time City-funded partner organization that brings 50 years of experience providing comprehensive, high-quality health care, free food, health insurance enrollment assistance and harm reduction services. VFC will be a healthcare resource to SaMo Bridge clients.
Salvation Army: A long-time collaborative partner to the City of Santa Monica, Salvation Army brings a combination of perspectives around faith, recovery, inclusion, and community for people across the housing and income spectrum. The City currently contracts with Salvation Army to support the City’s homeless outreach efforts and provide street team assistance to SMPD’s Homeless Liaison Program. Salvation Army will be a resource to SaMo Bridge clients who agree to participate in their programs.
Community Stakeholders: To bring in perspectives from the general public, the CAO invited Santa Monica residents Joseph Antognini and Dr. Luis Barrera Castañón to join the LAC given their leadership in the community. Combined, they bring expertise in public policy and integrated delivery models for social supportive services including school-to-prison pipeline issues, disability rights advocacy and understanding of City and County systems in place to address the needs of vulnerable populations.
The City will continue to broaden the membership of the Prop 47 Local Advisory Committee with plans to prioritize invitations to local hospitals; UCLA Santa Monica and St. John’s are long-time collaborators with the Santa Monica’s Police and Fire Departments.
Section 2.3: The CAO is well trained in the City’s public meeting management protocols which follow the requirements set by City policy as well as applicable State law. The CAO has experience noticing, agenda posting, and conducting in-person and/or virtual meetings and methods to facilitate public participation in decision making.
The CAO will use these standard protocols and best practices to inform how it manages committee affairs and engagement with the public at-large. If awarded the Proposition 47 Grant funding, the CAO will engage in a multi-step outreach and education process to promote awareness of the City’s grant award, the program that will be implemented, how the LAC collaborates with the CAO and the plan for community meetings to report out on program impact and receive public feedback. Additionally, the City’s Office of Communications is a member of the Prop 47 LAC, and will provide communications support and recommendations on public outreach and engagement.
Section 3 Project Description
Section 3.1 The goal of SaMo Bridge is to connect justice-involved adults experiencing homelessness and behavioral health needs to housing and treatment services in order reduce recidivism. The program’s impact directly aligns with and advances the intent of the Prop 47 program.
Goal 1: Divert adults experiencing homelessness and behavioral health needs to care coordination services during pre-arrest, post-arrest and pre-filing stages of engagement with SMPD Officers.
Obj. A: SMPD officers will screen 90% of adults contacted who appear to be experiencing homelessness, substance abuse issues, or behavioral health concerns for program eligibility during pre-arrest, post-arrest and pre-filing stages of contact.
Obj. B: Within 30 days of program referral, 20% of those experiencing homelessness will accept services and enroll in a 90-day case management program.
Obj. C: 20% of enrolled adults will graduate from the 90-day case management program and have their citation(s) dismissed.
Goal 2: Reduce recidivism among adults experiencing homelessness in Santa Monica via receipt of treatment and/or improved housing status.
Obj. A: Within 30 days of program enrollment, 50% of participants will establish temporary housing.
Obj. B: Within 30 days of program enrollment, 50% of participants will attend a behavioral health treatment service.
Obj. C: 75% of participants who graduate the 90-day program will not reoffend within 12 months of graduation.
Section 3.2: The SaMo Bridge target population will be identified according to the following criteria:
Referral Sources: SMPD will the primary referral source to SaMo Bridge. SMPD will screen program candidates to verify (A) a qualifying criminal offense (arrest, charge, or conviction) is either occurring or has occurred in the past, AND either: (B) symptoms of a mental health condition or substance use disorder are observed; OR (C) individual contacted is experiencing homelessness (given likelihood of behavioral health needs).
Risk & Needs Assessment: Exodus staff will conduct a brief needs screening aligned with LA County standard screening protocols in order to:
- Identify clients’ basic and/or urgent transitional services and support needs (e.g., shelter, food, clothing, and transportation; etc.)
- Identify clients with current or historical mental health conditions. - Identify clients who may be eligible for and interested in receiving substance use disorder care.
Section 3.3: The SaMo Bridge respite hub will be a new “place to connect” in city limits, open 24/7 by referral from SMPD. The hub will operate from several leased trailers on City property.
Participants will stay at the hub 24-48 hours as their Exodus Care Manager finds temporary housing and treatment services. SaMo Bridge Care Coordination will last 90-days minimum to qualify for citation dismissal by the City Attorney’s Office. If a participant qualifies for SaMo Bridge services based on justice-system involvement with a different Los Angeles-based jurisdiction, the CAO will collaborate with that jurisdiction.
Exodus staff roles for the SaMo Bridge program include:
- Care Managers, who conduct outreach in the community, meet participants at SaMo Bridge and provide ongoing case management (described below)
- Community Navigators, who support the 24/7 operations of the SaMo Bridge respite hub, making it feasible for SMPD Officers to make round-the-clock diversion referrals.
The participant experience upon arrival at the SaMo Bridge respite hub will include:
- Prioritizing basic needs, e.g., food, showers, clothing, and a place to sit or lie down. - Completing the initial needs screening; if enrolled, designing a 90-day care plan to address mental health, substance use and housing needs.
- Ongoing case management is provided in the community to help the client achieve 90-day care plan goals. To secure housing and treatment, care plans will focus on public benefits enrollment - General Relief, MediCal, CalFresh, Social Security income (when eligible) accessing health services and medication; transportation to court, doctors, and other necessary appointments; getting government issued identification from the DMV and Social Security Administration to ensure participants are document-ready for permanent housing. - Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office will facilitate citation dismissal via coordination with Exodus Care Managers after SaMo Bridge clients graduate the 90-day program.
The projected number of people to be served, meaning they enroll in the SaMo Bridge 90-day care management program, is 260 people annually, 780 by the end of the grant period. The CAO is providing this conservative estimate of program participation based on historical SMPD referral data and participant enrollment in the LA County Alternatives to Incarceration pre-filing diversion program. There is potential for SMPD to refer a much larger cohort of people to SaMo Bridge because it will offer expanded participant eligibility criteria and can receive SMPD referrals at pre-arrest, post-arrest and pre-filing stages of contact compared to ATI, which limits referrals to those booked into the Santa Monica jail. CAO anticipates SMPD may be able to screen and refer double the number of people to SaMo Bridge, compared to the referral rates to the ATI program, which would result in higher participant enrollment numbers than the 780 estimate. To monitor for racial or ethnic disparities in program participation, Exodus and CAO staff will monitor available data from SMPD for insights on demographics among general calls for service, program referrals and enrollment.
Exodus and the CAO are committed to fostering collaboration with community partners to ensure participant success in the program. Exodus staff have established relationships with LA County medical clinics, Mental Health Urgent Care Centers and outpatient programs, and substance use disorder outpatient services. Additionally, City-funded agencies offering temporary housing and SUD treatment will partner with Exodus via a formalized collaboration on the SaMo Bridge program.
Section 3.4: SaMo Bridge advances the principles of Restorative Justice in its focus on diverting people to services as a preventive intervention to decrease antisocial behavior and support a healthier community.
The SaMo Bridge service delivery approach is guided by Exodus’ understanding that many justice-involved individuals with mental illness, substance use, and medical comorbidities do not successfully transition from incarceration to services in the community. To achieve positive results, Exodus staff utilize evidenced-based practices such as Housing First; Low Barrier Practices; Harm Reduction; Overdose Prevention and Intervention; Trauma Informed Care, including Secondary Trauma; Mental Health First Aid; Ethics and Boundaries; Non-Violent Crisis Intervention; Stages of Change/Motivational Interviewing; Risk, Needs, Responsivity Model; and Equal Access Gender Identity.
All Exodus staff are client focused and culturally and linguistically competent when providing services to this diverse and complex population. The organization’s educational and training practices are modeled after the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services. Along with using the clients preferred language, staff recognizes cultural inclusion, including individuals in recovery; LGBTQ+ community; veterans; persons living with disabilities; Transition Age Youth, Older Adults; immigrants and refugees. In addition to language and cultural, the SaMo Bridge respite hub includes accessible design.
Section 3.5: The CAO is partnering with Exodus to operate SaMo Bridge given the organization’s existing work with the CAO and vast experience in serving the Target Population.
The Exodus model, practices and system of care is designed to promote a full array of in-person services to the Target Population based on their needs and interests.
Exodus’ employment and hiring practices focus on social equity and workforce diversity and target candidates with lived experience and/or justice-involved qualifications. Exodus actively recruits and hires individuals who live in the community in order to support local enterprise and provide expanded opportunities to Santa Monica residents.
Section 3.6: The CAO will minimize start-up time so that SaMo Bridge services can be delivered as soon as possible upon award. This is in large part the result of City Council’s May 2024 Proclamation Declaring a Local Emergency on Homelessness. The proclamation enables the City to expedite processes and approvals concerning development, deployment of resources, employment, contracting, grant approvals, receipt, budgeting, and community activities.
Additionally, Exodus operates similar programs and will be able to draw on that expertise to quickly ramp up SaMo Bridge.
Section 3.7: The SaMo Bridge program advances the spirit and intent behind the Proposition 47 statute and Guiding Principles of the grant program as follows:
Expands and improves the City’s efforts to divert people away from criminal justice involvement by creating a new 24/7 “place to connect” that serves as an always-open, low barrier pathway to services via law enforcement diversion.
Fosters community engagement, partnerships and collaborations through the Local Advisory Committee; via contracting with Exodus; by supporting collaboration between SaMo Bridge and City-funded social providers and with regional partners who can serve the Target Population.
Encourages culturally competent services and approaches that foster the principles of restorative justice and trauma-informed care. Exodus provides high-quality, empathetic, and person-centered service, utilizing peer staff with lived experience of justice involvement throughout the program.
Serves the Proposition 47 target population by connecting them to treatment and housing services to reduce recidivism.
Section 3.8. Proposition 47 grant funding will support all SaMo Bridge expenditures during the three-year grant period. Due to a number of economic constraints the City is currently managing, the City does not have unallocated reserves to source as program leverage.
The CAO will ensure that the BSCC-funded SaMo Bridge program will integrate seamlessly with the City’s existing investments in criminal justice diversion, addressing homelessness and connecting people to treatment. City-funded programs include multidisciplinary outreach teams, shelter services, SUD treatment, physical and behavioral health, supportive care coordination services, eviction prevention, below market housing and other upstream interventions that in 2022 totaled over $15.3 million from the City Budget. These programs are delivered through a highly coordinated collaborative of contracted social service organizations in partnership with City Departments.
Section 4 - Project Evaluation and Monitoring
Section 4.1: The Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office will leverage the City’s Emergency Proclamation on Homelessness to expedite contracting with a consulting team to evaluate the program. The City has an existing contract with Moss Adams and has done prior evaluations and strategy development with RDA Consulting and RAND Corporation, which are two firms already working on Local Evaluation Plans for other Proposition 47 Grant Program recipients.
The CAO and Exodus will collaborate and employ a systematic approach for improving the program’s performance by monitoring existing processes. Based upon observation and data collection, stakeholders involved in the review of performance activity, including the Local Advisory Committee, will make decisions on what improvements are indicated. Examples of monitoring activities include tracking: the number of SMPD staff trained on diversion options (start-up); the number of SMPD referrals to the program (implementation); the number of clients accessing services at the respite hub; the number of clients enrolled and successfully completing 90-day service plans (service delivery); collecting client satisfaction surveys and collaborative partner surveys (service delivery).
Quality Assurance and Quality Control activities ensure that the program meets its responsibilities to clients, staff, and the community. The method for conducting QA/QI measures will consist of planned, systematic and ongoing processes to thoroughly and consistently maintain and improve the overall quality of care and services provided. Data will be reviewed, quarterly, throughout the year for consistent quality of care and to identify patterns and/or trends. Goals and Indicators will be routinely established to monitor specific criteria with each aspect of care. The results of data collection and recommendations for actions will inform program adaptations or realignment.
Section 4.2: CAO staff have identified a number of process and outcomes measures to quantify SaMo Bridge program stakeholder activities, service delivery, program utilization, participant changes in housing status and behavioral health treatment access, and recidivism.
Recidivism by program participants will be tracked by an SMPD Crime Analyst who manages statistics pertaining to individuals offending more than once within the City of Santa Monica.
Recidivism will be monitored by utilizing a system-generated Master Name ID that is created by factors such as the name(s) and date of birth of the candidate. Hereby providing a unique identifier per person. This identifier is then used in a report that pulls data for that named candidate with the cases attached to the Master Name ID.
Process and outcome measures are identified as follows for each project goal:
Goal #1: Divert adults experiencing homelessness and behavioral health needs to care coordination services during pre-arrest, post-arrest and pre-filing stages of engagement with SMPD Officers.
#1 Process Measures: # SMPD Officers trained on SaMo Bridge diversion eligibility; # of SMPD screenings, # SMPD pre-arrest, #post-arrest and pre-filing referrals, # confirmed qualified for services.
#1 Outcome Measures: # of people assessed, # people enrolled in 90-day program, # people graduated 90-day program, # SMPD repeat contacts with Target Population.
Goal 2: Reduce recidivism among adults experiencing homelessness in Santa Monica via receipt of treatment and/or improved housing status.
#2 Process Measures: # participants placed in temporary housing in 30 days, 60 days, 90 days; # participants document-ready for permanent housing in 90 days; # participants on permanent housing waitlists in 6 months; # participants placed in permanent housing in 12 months; # participants enrolled in behavioral health treatment services. #2 Outcome Measures: # participants in housing 12 months after placement, # participants in behavioral health treatment services at 90 days, # participants graduated from 90-day program; # enrolled participants re-arrested/booked in SMPD jail, # program graduates rearrested/booked in SMPD jail at 6mo, 12mo and up to 36 months depending on date of program enrollment.
Section 4.3: To assess the implementation and impact of SaMo Bridge, the CAO’s evaluation team will conduct a mixed-method process and outcome evaluation. The CAO’s evaluation team will gather qualitative and quantitative data from a range of program partners and stakeholders. Quantitative data findings, overlayed with qualitative data, will be analyzed and presented in the program evaluation reports to assess the program’s impact over the 36-month grant period.
The outcome evaluation will examine the effect of program participation on anticipated outcomes, including increased diversion, reduced recidivism, and improved access and use of behavioral health and housing services.
The CAO and SMPD will be the primary source for baseline and outcome data on diversion and recidivism. SMPD is highly invested in the success of the program and is already prepared to furnish any needed reports on law enforcement contact with the Target Population. Exodus and affiliated partners will provide data about participant access and use of stabilizing services, 90- day care coordination enrollment, housing placement, participation in SUD and mental health treatment and graduations. MOUs for data sharing across social service partners will be executed as needed.
