require counties to provide comprehensive treatment to the most severely impaired and untreated Californians and hold patients accountable to their treatment plan
Or this past October
working closely with the city and county of Sacramento to build a tiny home village on Stockton Boulevard that will be a model for the rest of the state. Residents will be embedded in a community wellness campus specializing in substance abuse disorder treatment and mental health care.
Neither of which bears any resemblance to the claim
Prop 1 that we just voted on is a plan to remove funding from outpatient treatment that’s highly rated by it’s patients. That money would be used to build and staff thousands of new beds for mentally ill homeless and veterans. The measure was largely sold as a way to clear the streets of homeless people.
Now how are they going to get homeless people who don’t want to leave to go into in patient treatment? Involuntary commitment.
Furthermore because it’s being sold as a way to get homeless people off the streets it creates an open end political mandate to keep expanding the program as long as someone complains about homeless people . Since someone is making money, supplying, building, and staffing these places; there’s also going to be business lobby pressure to increase funding and program use for the foreseeable future.
Tl;dr
Prop 1 isn’t wanted by the patients, or the people who care for them. And it’s sold as an anti homeless measure. That’s really all you need to know to know it’s crooked.
