Founded in 1999 as a 501(c)(3) drug policy reform advocacy organization, A New PATH (Parents for Addiction Treatment & Healing) is based at 3930 Oregon St #210 in North Park. The nonprofit partners with health-focused organizations in the neighborhood, including the Epilepsy Foundation, to advance public understanding of neurological and behavioral health conditions. A New PATH was instrumental in the passage of California Proposition 36, which mandated treatment instead of incarceration for nonviolent drug possession offenses statewide. Its Moms United to End the War on Drugs campaign now operates across 35 states, connecting with community networks like Hope for San Diego to reduce stigma at the local level. The organization's most demanding advocacy work involves drafting testimony for state and federal legislative committees considering sentencing reform, overdose prevention funding, and expanded residential treatment bed mandates.
