CA State Governor's New Plan to Get California's in Crisis Off the Streets and into Housing, Treatment & Care

● Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court is a new framework to get people with mental health and substance use disorders the support and care they need.
● CARE Court is aimed at helping the thousands of Californians who are suffering from untreated mental health and substance use disorders leading to homelessness, incarceration or worse.
● California is taking a new approach to act early and get people the support they need and address underlying needs - and we’re going to do it without taking away people’s rights.
● CARE Court includes accountability for everyone – on the individual and on local governments – with court orders for services.
