Newsom's mental health court falls short of enrollment goal
Original: Fact check: Did Newsom’s mental health court hit his goal for helping Californians? (Spoiler: No) https:// lemmy.dbzer0.
California Governor Gavin Newsom's CARE Court program, created to funnel people with severe mental illness into treatment, has failed to reach the enrollment targets set when it launched. A fact check finds the courts have helped far fewer Californians than promised, renewing criticism that the flagship mental health policy is underdelivering amid the state's homelessness crisis.
Why now: Newsom is a prominent national political figure and the gap between the program's promises and results invites criticism of his record.
