Community-driven and focused solutions
What We Offer
Guidance on Design and Implementation
Through training, presentations, site visits, and ongoing customized assistance through all phases of development, we help local stakeholders understand and effectively implement LEAD to reflect the priorities and needs of their communities.
Toolkits & Reference Documents
The Bureau produces and curates an extensive library of materials and subject-specific resources to support LEAD’s effective design, implementation, and evaluation in diverse settings.
Evaluation Resources
Our suite of evaluation resources, designed for both practitioners and evaluators, fosters fidelity and efficacy while advancing the field of criminal-legal reform.
Specialized Expertise
Our team of uniquely qualified staff and consultants includes subject-matter experts who hold expertise in all aspects of the theory, practice, and evaluation of LEAD, both within the United States and across the world.
Our purpose
LEADaligned is used to indicate projects that operate consistent with LEAD principles, even if they go by other names.
LEADaligned projects seek to divert at-risk people from committing law violations due to behavioral health challenges and income instability by changing public policy and providing legal and case management services to those persons. LEADaligned projects also highlight the benefits of such programs and provide information to advance equitable strategies and smart public policy.
