About the Washington State Office of Public Defense (OPD) We are an independent judicial branch agency mandated to implement the constitutional and statutory guarantees of counsel and to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of indigent defense services funded by the state. Mission: Upholding the rights of all people who are facing the loss of liberty or family by providing statewide leadership, administration, and support to the multidisciplinary public defense profession. Vision: Public defense clients, everywhere in the state, receive truly equitable and client-centered representation from fully supported professionals.

We value employees who bring diverse backgrounds in education, employment, public policy, community activities, and life experiences to enhance our office. Background on the Creation of OPD's Trueblood Element Programs Resource Team Trueblood v. Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is an active lawsuit that challenged unconstitutional delays in competency evaluation and restoration services. The case resulted in a settlement agreement. The agreement funds several different programs. The Trueblood Element Programs include Outpatient Competency Restoration Programs (OCRP), Forensic Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (FPATH), and Forensic Housing and Recovery through Peer Services (FHARPS), among others. These Trueblood Element Programs are one of multiple pieces of the Trueblood settlement agreement managed by the state Health Care Authority (HCA), in collaboration with other state agencies. HCA contracts with community behavioral health providers, spanning 16 counties in Washington State, to provide services for Trueblood Class Members enrolled in these programs. HCA-Contracted Providers (Providers) consist of multidisciplinary teams within community behavioral health agencies. Providers build relationships with Trueblood Class Members eligible for enrollment in these programs in the community, and connect them with support including housing, basic needs, behavioral health, and health care. Connection to such services reduces the likelihood of future criminal legal system and competency services involvement and aims to increase long-term stability and wellness. About the Trueblood Element Programs Resource Team at OPD The Trueblood Element Programs (TEP) Resource Team is a newly created team at OPD, in partnership with the HCA. The TEP Resource Team will consist of a quarter-time resource attorney, and two full-time resource paralegals. The TEP Resource Team will work closely with Providers to deliver consultation, coordination support, and training to support the goal of reducing current and future criminal legal system involvement of Trueblood class members enrolled in Trueblood Element Programs. Providers help connect eligible individuals with support including housing, basic needs, behavioral health, and health care. However, the individuals they support are often entangled in the criminal legal system. The TEP Resource Team will help the Providers understand and navigate the criminal legal system, to help eliminate barriers to their clients' basic livability and medical needs. That's where you come in.
