Continuum of Care Reform
CPOC is currently working to update all Continuum of Care Reform (CCR) related information and link them to this page for ease of reference. Please check back periodically to look for updates. If you come across something you think should be added, send it our way. We hope this webpage is useful as county probation departments continue their important work to implement CCR which became effective January 1, 2017.
