The Care First Community Coalition is a group of Alameda County organizations and community members who are committed to reducing the number of individuals in Santa Rita jail with behavioral health concerns, and preventing the future criminalization and incarceration of individuals with behavioral health concerns with wrap-around care.

Our members authored the Care First, Jails Last resolution in Alameda County, CA and we are committed to implementing the most robust community-centered Care First plan in a racially equitable way.​
