Supervisors updated on Justice Grant Program

Submitted by admin on Tue, 10/28/2025 - 1:42pm

By APRIL KELLEY

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors received an update from Alison Hauser regarding the Justice Program Grant (JPG) which began in July.

According to Hauser, the JPG has already assisted more than 50 individuals in Humboldt County. Hauser’s records show that the grant was able to assist 33 new clients in July, 27 clients (16 of which were repeats) in August and 29 clients (16 of which were repeats) in September.

Many of those who have been referred to her program come from an interaction with law enforcement personnel.

Hauser talked about her role with the Justice Program.

“I think a lot of people just think it’s straight mental health but what it is, is it’s a reduction of individuals in our jail system with mental health and substance abuse. It’s also a reduction in law enforcement calls,” Hauser said.
