加利福尼亚州州长办公室11月9日发布数据称，自CARE法案于2024年12月在全州实施以来，已有11,912人通过CARE流程连上行为健康服务，全州56个县共提交6,531份CARE请愿。这项由州长纽森推动的法案，为患有严重精神疾病的居民设立法院监督的治疗与服务通道。
数据显示，近1,800名参与者已达成CARE协议或CARE计划，一年内增幅超过250%；另有5,381人在正式流程之外经转介连上治疗。参与者中拥有住房的比例由53%升至71%。州长办公室称，加州无家可归人数已连续两年下降，无庇护无家可归人数自2024年以来下降近13%。
配套投入方面，《1号提案》资助的首家行为健康中心已经开业；州政府已为行为健康基础设施投入61亿美元，建成535家设施、9,570张床位和44,863个治疗名额。在10个已接受州技术援助的「Care ICU」县中，多数请愿量已高于全州平均水平（每10万人6.2份），其中Fresno县请愿量翻倍，Kern县增至三倍。

California CARE Act Connects 11,912 People to Behavioral Health Services; Share of Participants in Housing Rises From 53% to 71%
California's Governor's Office reported on November 9 that 11,912 people have been connected to behavioral health services through the CARE Act since its statewide implementation in December 2024, with 6,531 CARE petitions filed across 56 counties. The law, championed by Governor Gavin Newsom, created a court-supervised pathway to treatment and services for residents living with serious mental illness.
Nearly 1,800 participants now have a CARE agreement or CARE plan in place, an increase of more than 250% in one year, and another 5,381 people were connected to treatment outside the formal court process. The share of participants in housing rose from 53% to 71%. The Governor's Office said homelessness in California has declined for two consecutive years, with unsheltered homelessness down nearly 13% since 2024.
On capacity, the first behavioral health home funded under Proposition 1 has opened, and the state has invested $6.1 billion in behavioral health infrastructure, delivering 535 facilities, 9,570 beds and 44,863 treatment slots. Among the 10 'Care ICU' counties receiving state technical assistance, most now exceed the statewide average of 6.2 petitions per 100,000 residents; petitions doubled in Fresno County and tripled in Kern County.
