Receive report on county's non-police mental health crisis response program
In Plain English
Contra Costa County operates A3, a crisis hotline that sends mental health professionals instead of police to behavioral health emergencies. The program currently runs weekdays from 8 am to 6:30 pm but plans to expand to 24/7 service by late 2023. County voters approved a half-cent sales tax in 2020 that provides $25 million in funding for the program.
