Our Vision
A city where healing and opportunity are possible for all.
Our Approach
Treat poverty, mental illness, and homelessness as conditions—not crimes.
CASES provides comprehensive care to people who’ve been harmed by public systems, helping them stay out of jail while healing and recovering.
Keep people out of jail and in their communities.
Alternatives to incarceration work better, cost taxpayers less, and reduce harm to individuals, families and communities. CASES connects people with the support they need to address the root causes of their challenges.
Invest in people’s potential, not punishment.
Too many futures are cut short by unnecessary incarceration. CASES gives people a real chance to succeed as independent members of the community.
