Learn more about this innovative program at a LEAD Lunch and Learn. The event features opening remarks from City of Seattle and King County leaders, a panel with community organizations and LEAD participants, and a brief question and answer session. 

LEAD diverts people engaged in low-level drug crime, prostitution, and crimes of poverty away from the criminal justice system-bypassing prosecution and jail time-and connects them with intensive case managers who can offer crisis response, criminal justice system coordination, and access to community services including counseling, treatment and housing.
