纽森出席 CARE 法案会议：近1.2万人经该程序接上服务，56个县提交6,531份申请
位于加州首府 Sacramento，加州州长 Gavin Newsom 11月9日出席 CARE 法案实施会议（CARE Act Implementation Convening），与各县实施团队和州级伙伴共同总结进展。自2024年12月 CARE 法案在全州实施以来，已有11,912名加州人经 CARE 程序接上服务提供方，56个县为重度精神疾病患者提交了6,531份申请（petitions）。
州长办公室称，目前近1,800名加州人已有 CARE 协议或计划，一年内增长逾250%；另有5,381人经正式程序之外的渠道接上治疗。数据显示，CARE 参与者有住房的比例从申请时53%升至最近报告月的71%；入院或机构安置者中69%已迁入临时或永久住房；使用心理健康服务的比例从77%升至87%，使用稳定药物的比例从47%升至61%；近六成在册参与者同时获得药物、治疗与住房三项关键支持。
纽森表示，这些结果证明 CARE 正在发挥作用，它是州政府现代化行为健康体系、应对数十年系统性失败所致无家可归问题的基石，把过去够不着、服务不足的人群与自愿支持连接起来；不是每个人都需要法庭，但每个人都应得到服务。
州长办公室同时提及，加州无家可归人数连续第二年下降，自2024年以来无 shelter 无家可归人数历史性下降13%；由第1号提案资助的第一家行为健康中心近日开业，该提案实施不到两年已交付承诺住院床位的102%与门诊治疗位的104%。

Nearly 12,000 People Reached: Newsom Thanks County Teams at CARE Act Convening
Governor Gavin Newsom attended the CARE Act Implementation Convening in Sacramento on Nov. 9 to highlight progress in CARE Act implementation across California and thank CARE providers at the county and state levels. Since CARE was implemented statewide in December 2024, 11,912 Californians have connected with service providers through the CARE Act process, with 6,531 petitions filed for those with severe mental illness across 56 counties.
Almost 1,800 Californians now have a CARE agreement or plan, a more than 250% growth in one year, and more than 5,381 people have been connected to treatment outside the formal process. The share of CARE participants living in housing rose from 53% to 71% from the time they were petitioned to the most recent reporting month; nearly half of the people who came in unhoused are now sheltered or housed; 69% of those entering from institutions or facilities moved into temporary or permanent housing; use of mental health services rose from 77% to 87%, and use of stabilizing medication rose from 47% to 61%; nearly 6 in 10 active participants are getting all three key supports: medication, treatment, and housing.
"These results prove that CARE is working as a front door, acting as the cornerstone of the state's work to modernize California's behavioral health system and confront homelessness after decades of systemic failure, by connecting people who have been historically out of reach and underserved to the voluntary support they need to thrive. Not everyone needs a court, but everyone deserves to be served," Governor Newsom said.
The announcement follows new data showing homelessness dropping for the second year in a row, including a historic 13% drop in unsheltered homelessness since 2024. The Governor also recently announced the first behavioral health center opening funded by Prop 1, which is delivering 102% of the inpatient beds and 104% of the outpatient treatment slots promised in less than two years since voters passed the measure.
