CORP (Community Outreach Resource Program) originated in Indio and is intended to provide a new shot at life for habitual and repeat misdemeanor offenders – many of whom are unhoused. CORP involves collaboration among multiple countywide agencies including law enforcement, DA, public defenders, a special court, housing agencies, substance abuse treatment centers and mental health professionals. The new Navigation Center could serve as an anchor to CORP in Palm Springs by designating a certain number of beds/units to people diverted from court and/or jail into treatment. Upon graduation from CORP, the whole history of misdemeanor charges, fees and fines are wiped from the record, providing a positive incentive and relief for those individuals pursuing a path away from the streets.
HOME appears to be a successor program to CORP. HOME was announced in February 2022 by Riverside county.
