A newly released audit of Corrections’ Integrated Services for Mentally Ill Parolees program, which ends Dec. 2020 found current participants & future parolees with mental illness who are homeless will need to rely on county mental health and other programs. Additionally, parolees face many challenges as they re-enter their communities. Stable & affordable housing, as well as access to food, clothing, and job readiness, are just some of those challenges. For those with a mental illness, these challenges increase. Full audit report here: https://bit.ly/2YlNPTj

Extreme heat warning: Temperatures are expected to remain in the 90s through next week. For cooling shelters visit lacounty.gov/heat
