California already has more than 450 homeless courts across 19 counties, but the Redondo Beach court organizers say their model works better. This court makes the unhoused defendants a promise: If you show up to court, we will not put you in jail
Desiree Garibay used to sleep outside in Redondo Beach. One night in July 2020, she was lying down in a city park and police issued her a ticket.
A judge in a black robe sat behind a courtroom bench, but instead of handing down sentences, she told defendants things like “excellent job,” “congratulations” and “you have so much good news.” The specifics of the bill’s funding are unclear. The bill calls for giving the Judicial Council an unspecified amount from the general fund to administer the programs.
“The best thing about it, other than bringing it to the community where they are, is that a lot of what we do in California for the homeless is in silos,” said Redondo Beach City Attorney Mike Webb. “We bring it all in one place.”By clicking subscribe, you agree to share your email address with CalMatters to receive marketing, updates, and other emails.From all outward signs, the homeless court appears to be working.
