7 seats on the Reentry Council are designated for individuals who have been incarcerated in the past. The Mayor appoints three of these individuals, and the Board of Supervisors appoints four. 31 applicants composed the impressive, inspiring, and diverse pool that was considered for these seven seats. Mayor Lee appointed Leslie Levitas, Roger Mac, and Eddy Zheng. The Board of Supervisors appointed Kimberli Courtney, Gerald Miller, Ronnie Muniz, and Viet Mike Ngo. All will serve on the Reentry Council for a two year term. Congratulations to the appointees, and thank you to all who stepped forward to apply.
Major changes to the law will shift some of the responsibility for incarcerating, supervising, and providing services for adults from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to each of the 58 individual counties. This shift in responsibility begins on Saturday. The City/County of San Francisco has been at the forefront of planning for this shift, and has adopted its Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan. All City/County departments and partners have been working together to ensure that San Francisco implements realignment safely and effectively, to reduce recidivism and improve outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. If your San Francisco-based organization would like to learn more about realignment implementation, please contact me at reentry.council@sfgov.org with any specific questions or to schedule a presentation.
All are welcome.
