the updates
The Fines Committee is excited to share updates with you from our monthly meetings and our partners.
Each month, the Special Masters of the Fines Committee meet with the Director of the Office of Civil and Forensic Mental Health, the Disability Law Colorado Community Integration Attorney Team Leader, the Fines Committee Competency Projects Cultivator, and the Auditors/Monitors of the funded programs. The Fines Committee meets to consider new proposals, discuss new projects on the horizon, review the status and outcomes of currently-funded programs, and identify the areas of need and focus for future programming.
Take a look at the August 2023 newsletter in which the Director of OCFMH, Leora Joseph, discusses her trip to California with a group of elected officials, city leaders, attorneys, and the Special Masters overseeing the consent decree to learn more about the new CARE Courts model and the state's response to those who are experiencing homelessness and mental illness. Director Joseph also provides information about the new OCFMH position -- the Court Information Specialist.
