Advocates still hoping mental health clinics will reopen in four years, while Johnson hinted a more gradual approach amid budget gap.
Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez speaks during a committee meeting and vote at City Hall, Sept. 26, 2023, on the"Treatment not Trauma" ordinance.
“Our hope is that we are going to be able to accomplish that, and we are going to push for it,” Rodriguez Sanchez, 33rd, told reporters when asked about reviving the clinics during this City Council term. “But again, this is an ongoing conversation with the administration.”Rodriguez Sanchez commended how far advocates have come, particularly after four years of roadblocks.
Still, Johnson touted Treatment Not Trauma as a chief campaign promise during the mayor’s race and has continued backing the initiative since assuming office in May. Advocates, in turn, have been pushed forward to continue that momentum. Chicago has run the Crisis Assistance Response and Engagement — or CARE — since 2021, following worldwide protests sparked by George Floyd’s murder by a police officer
The task force, appointed by the mayor, must contain representatives from six city departments — Public Health; Assets, Information and Services; Human Resources; Emergency Management and Communications; Fire; and Budget. But the legislation did not list a requirement that a representative from the Chicago Police Department be part of the working group.
