COMMUNITY AND HOMELESS OUTREACH COURT

Community and Homeless Court is a specialized outreach court that provides access to justice and community resources to those experiencing homelessness, those in supportive housing, sober living, treatment centers, and other locations. 

The court endeavors to foster respectful and trusting relationships with the court being held in familiar and accessible environments.
