SSG-Project 180 turns lives around through innovative, wraparound services that keep people out of
institutions and in their communities. Project 180 is a leader in the forensic treatment space, offering
high-quality, specialized treatment programs that serve thousands of justice-involved individuals. Our
programs span criminal justice intercepts and include pre-arrest interventions, court-based diversions, jail in-reach, and intensive post-release services. Project 180 operates in partnership with County agencies including the Department of Mental Health (DMH), the Department of Health Services (DHS), and the Justice, Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD).
The Program
The AB109 program provides intensive, wraparound behavioral health treatment to a forensic population. Through Assembly Bill 109, individuals convicted of a felony crime serve a portion of their sentence in jail or prison and are released early with 1 year of community supervision. If appropriate, participants are mandated to behavioral health treatment by LA County Probation. The program aims to reduce recidivism and support clients with personal recovery goals. The program is funded by the Department of Mental Health (DMH), and operates in collaboration with LA County Probation and LA Superior Court.
The Position
The Housing Specialist will provide housing support across Project 180’s DMH programs (AB109
FSP). The Housing Specialist will report to the Program Supervisor and collaborate with the program's
