About the Program: The San Diego BHC program is an active partnership between É«ÖÐÉ« and the County of San Diego, superior court, the public defender and district attorney’s offices, and the probation department. Members are able to begin ACT services as soon as they are released from jail and are required to commit to the program for 18 months in order to participate. The primary focus of the program is to ensure members are set up with the proper resources and tools they will need to move forward without re-offending.
