Santa Cruz County is investing in the future of youth rehabilitation with a $23 million upgrade to its juvenile hall. The modernization effort focuses on enhancing safety, accessibility, and programming space while replacing outdated infrastructure that no longer meets current operational needs.

The updated facility will feature improved housing units, ADA-compliant design elements, and spaces dedicated to mental health, education, and recreation, supporting a more holistic approach to youth development and rehabilitation.
