California voters would decide whether to fund a major expansion of housing and treatment for residents suffering from mental illness and addiction.
SAN DIEGO — California voters would decide whether to fund a major expansion of housing and treatment for residents suffering from mental illness and addiction, under the latest proposal by Gov. Gavin Newsom to address the state's homelessness crisis.
“This is the next step in our transformation of how California addresses mental illness, substance use disorder and homelessness — creating thousands of new beds, building more housing, expanding services and more,” Newsom said in a statement. The initiative would be partially funded by general obligation bonds that would go toward construction of “campus-style” facilities along with smaller homes and long-term residential settings, Newsom's office said.
"Modernizing it will lead to $1 billion every year for housing, treating substance abuse disorders, and more," the statement said.
