homeless man ask help
The Senate Health Committee is voting on Governor Gavin Newsom’s CARE Court proposal today. The program can force people who are homeless and severely mentally ill into treatment. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to pass the proposal yesterday. The main goal of the program is to get homeless folks who have severe cases of mental illness off the streets and into court-ordered care. Those who oppose the measure say they are concerned about forced treatment, saying it won’t work out.
