Program Offers Vulnerable Community Members Alternative Resolutions for Eligible Cases

SANTA FE, December 6 – The Santa Fe Municipal Court is collaborating with the Office of the City of Santa Fe Prosecutor, the City of Santa Fe Public Defender and community providers on an Outreach Court program for community members. The program is designed to support homeless and precariously housed individuals who have limited means to comply with conditions of the court and face challenges obtaining legal representation. Outreach Court provides a progressive diversionary program, allowing alternative resolutions in lieu of custody, fines, and fees for outstanding non-DUI (DWI) criminal, misdemeanor, and traffic cases.
