Community-Based Care & Coordination
A better approach to health, safety, and equity.
What we do
Our Approach
LEAD offers a better response to chronic crime and disorder, allowing community leaders, police, and prosecutors to ensure that community care and coordination form the primary approach to people whose problematic conduct stems from mental illness, substance use, or extreme poverty.

As a resident community leader, I want to shout my praises far and wide for the LEAD program. Staff are compassionate, caring, and out-of-the-box thinkers in their approach to neighborhood safety, order, and public care for human lives. LEAD uses a gradual yet consistent approach, helping people move towards real and meaningful life changes.
