Alternatives to Incarceration Initiative

Incubation Academy

The Los Angeles County Incubation Academy provides training, funding and technical assistance to new and existing community-based organizations, especially those who serve underrepresented and justice-involved people. Building the capacity of service providers is foundational to justice reform efforts countywide and the County’s vision of offering care-first alternatives and treatments to more people.

Applications for the second cohort are now closed, but new applicants can still apply on a rolling basis for future cohorts.
