Proposition 1: Dangerous shell game or overdue overhaul of California’s mental health system? 

Proposition 1, which will be on California’s primary ballot in March, aims to provide 10,000 new behavioral-health beds with a $6.4 billion bond and redirect some existing funding to bolster mental health and substance abuse services. Proponents say it will go a long way to addressing some of the root causes of homelessness. But detractors say it’s just a way to lock up people struggling with mental health challenges.

 

California has long been the proving ground for what become national politics and policies. This year will be no exception as Golden State voters head to the polls to weigh in not only on who occupies the White House and legislative seats but also on state and local ballot initiatives. This series of webinars is hosted by Mark Baldassare, the state’s leading pollster and Senior Fellow at the USC Price School’s Bedrosian Center on Governance, and features experts from academia, the government, private sector and not-for-profits.
