🔔TODAY AT 2 PM catch my take on California’s #Prop1 at my alma mater @USCPrice with @AndyDRC and @sabamwine. #vote #civics #govote #mentalhealth #seriousmentalillness @CountyofLA 🔔
#Prop1 is on CA's March primary ballot + aims to provide 10,000 new behavioral-health beds with a $6.4B bond + redirect some existing funding to bolster mental health and substance abuse services. Will it address root causes of homelessness? uscprice.zoom.us/webinar/reg…

When we ensure people have housing stability and services that support their mental and physical wellbeing, we will move closer to a Los Angeles where homelessness is rare, brief and nonrecurring. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WorldHomelessDay

Remember: btw 2020 and Jan 2023, we (1) froze evictions, (2) added 7k shelter beds, and (3) saw a tragic uptick in street mortality. All put pressure on the count to *fall*. That it rose *at all*–to say nothing of 9%–reveals an emergency even deeper than what we see outside.

Heard @CountyofLA’s top #homeless exec report on mental health & addiction rehab beds: current supply, in the pipeline & costs. This chart shows all bed types, it's a complicated system. Takeaways: 1) We have about 44,700 beds & 13K in development; 2) We need more; 3) We need to raise #federal reimbursement formulas so they cover our true costs. I’m monitoring this topic closely b/c these beds are critical to our fight against #homelessness. These beds change lives.
