Board meetings and strategic plans from County of Santa Cruz
The Santa Cruz County Blueprint for Shared Safety, Phase 1: Survivors at the Center, establishes a survivor-centered framework for community safety and well-being. Aligning with the broader Santa Cruz County Strategic Plan 2018-2024, this blueprint outlines five key goals: prioritizing healing and restoration for crime survivors, ensuring access to trauma recovery services, engaging survivors to elevate their voices, strengthening community trust in the criminal justice system, and recognizing those most vulnerable to crime. The plan's objectives include shifting to a public health frame, emphasizing well-being as safety, breaking cycles of harm, and improving the effectiveness of the justice system through trauma-informed and inclusive practices.
