Prop 47 HOME Diversion Program Services

The City of Pasadena, through its Office of the City Attorney and Prosecution Division, is seeking qualified service providers to deliver diversion program services under Prop 47 aimed at redirecting individuals away from criminal justice involvement by addressing underlying issues such as mental health and substance use disorders. This initiative targets misdemeanor offenses arising under state or municipal law within Pasadena and prioritizes community-based partnerships to enhance recovery support and reduce recidivism through structured, evidence-based interventions. The program seeks to expand access to treatment, counseling, and social services as alternatives to traditional prosecution, aligning with the City’s broader commitment to public safety and equitable outcomes. Solicitation number 2026-APP-0451 was posted on July 30, 2026, with responses due by August 20, 2026. The opportunity is open to entities capable of delivering diversion services within Pasadena, California, and is managed by the City Attorney’s Office. Primary contact for inquiries is Samantha Piedra, Program Coordinator II, reachable at 626-744-4585 or sapiedra@cityofpasadena.net, with additional support available from Antonio Watson, Project Manager. Proposals must demonstrate proven experience in diversion programming, cultural competency, and the ability to collaborate effectively with local agencies and community organizations to ensure meaningful participant outcomes and program sustainability.
