Original: Sacramento first reponders stretched thin by thousands of mental health- and homeless-related calls
Sacramento first responders are being stretched thin by thousands of emergency calls tied to mental health crises and homelessness, according to CBS News reporting. The city's emergency services are absorbing a growing share of incidents that many argue should be handled by social workers or mental health professionals rather than police and paramedics.
Why now: Rising demand on emergency services highlights the broader debate over how cities should respond to mental health and homelessness crises.
