The National Association of Community Courts

The National Association of Community Courts (NACC) is an organization that supports and promotes community courts across the U.S. They are specialized courts designed to address low-level offenses through problem-solving approaches that consider the underlying causes, like homelessness or addiction. The aim is to connect individuals with services, reduce reoffending, and improve community well-being. NACC provides resources, training, and advocacy to help community courts operate effectively, fostering collaboration among local agencies and ensuring those involved receive appropriate support rather than just punishment.
