Newsom's plan would force some with severe psychiatric disorders or addiction into treatment.
that would force those suffering from untreated psychiatric disorders and drug addiction into “CARE Court,” a system that could help, but is not limited to, unhoused Californians in greatest need of services.Newsom’s advisors said the proposal would create a civil court process for counties to develop a care plan to deliver housing and clinically prescribed treatment and medication to eligible candidates.
The proposal is notable for a few reasons. As my colleague Hannah Wiley reports, Newsom is attempting to accelerate the state’s strategy to help people in need while at the same time acknowledging that the current system isn’t working.California judges could order help for homeless Californians under Newsom’s new planNewsom also unveiled his new plan just days before he delivers the final State of the State address of his first term.
He would also be smart to acknowledge California’s shortcomings, considering a majority of voters said the state was headed in the wrong direction in a recent poll. The timely introduction of CARE Court gives Newsom an opportunity in his annual address to trumpet a new solution for homelessness, a problem that’s top of mind to voters, and to show he’s heeding their calls to do better.
