California is ahead of schedule for making billions in bond funds available to construct mental and behavioral health treatment centers—authorized by voters through the recently approved Prop. 1, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced May 15.
Now $3.3 billion of $6.4 billion in funding for the proposition—which calls for investing in housing for those with mental health issues, or who are suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction, or who are homeless—will be made available by July.
