| Notes |
In recent years Mr. Graves was able to focus on the development of several new initiatives and lead their implementation. These include AB-109 (Public Safety Realigment) where Santa Clara County became the State wide model for creating a Re-Entry process for individuals coming out of the State Correctional system. Mr. Graves also led the County’s effort to reorganize homeless services to focus on Housing First; a program designed to address the growing number of homeless in the County. It was through this effort that Mr. Graves was introduced to Pay for Success and Third Sector. Santa Clara County became the first County in California to implement a Pay for Success project in 2015. A second project was implemented in FY 2017. |
