Community Court

Tucson Community Court helps connect community members with needed social services.  Members of the public are welcome to attend any Tucson Community Court session to speak with on-site individuals regarding:

  • Mental Health treatment
  • Substance Use treatment
  • Driver's license, Identification, social security card, birth certificates
  • Insurance (AHCCCS)
  • Housing
  • Employment assistance
  • Education assistance (GED)

Individuals charged with eligible misdemeanor offenses within the City of Tucson may qualify for Tucson Community Court. Participation is voluntary. The Tucson Community Court program requires an individual to meet with a Peer Navigator to design a plan to address the pending criminal charges. Peer Navigators utilize assessments to determine the individual’s service needs and recommend treatment and service options to address those needs. One program goal is to address the underlying cause of the criminal behavior. For those that commit to the program, the rewards can be significant and lasting
