Fact check: Newsom's mental health court falls short of goals
Original: Fact check: Did Newsom’s mental health court hit his goal for helping Californians?
A fact check is examining whether Governor Gavin Newsom's mental health court program, the Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court, has met its stated goals for helping Californians with severe mental illness. The review looks at enrollment figures and outcomes against the ambitious targets Newsom set when launching the program, amid ongoing debate over how well the state is serving people experiencing homelessness and psychiatric crises.
Why now: The program was a signature Newsom initiative and its results are being scrutinized as California continues to face a homelessness and mental health crisis.
