Los Angeles County and FUSE are planning the facilities and operations needed to close an aging jail while expanding community-based alternatives that prioritize care.
Moving away from incarceration and toward care requires new infrastructure, careful coordination, and deep collaboration with community. The County is advancing operational plans that support safe transitions and expand housing and services in decision-making. The aim is to ensure that facilities and logistics reflect a commitment to dignity, safety, and effective care.
With FUSE, the County will assess space and program needs, align partners around implementation, and create a practical roadmap for change. The FUSE Executive Fellow will coordinate planning, analyze options, and engage stakeholders to ensure systems are ready to support individuals outside of jail. This effort will lay the groundwork for lasting transformation, strengthening safety and stability while advancing a care-first future.
