LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is throwing its support behind Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Court proposal unveiled earlier this month, which aims to force some individuals suffering from substance abuse, mental illnesses, and homelessness into treatment and housing through a court-ordered mandate.
The county board passed a motion and sent a letter to the state to support the CARE Court proposal earlier this week, although it’s unclear when Newsom will receive legislative backing for it.
