Santa Clara County did not receive any funding from Governor Gavin Newsom's $3.3 billion Proposition 1 grants to bolster its mental health facilities, even as he urged counties to enhance their services. The county had sought support for three projects, including a new mental health facility and renovations for substance use treatment. The lack of funding has been met with disappointment from county officials, who plan to resubmit their applications in the program's final round, yet the path forward remains uncertain.
It's hard to not feel a significant personal disappointment that external factors are inhibiting our forward progress. The governor promoted Proposition 1 in the context of counties need to do more.
The $6.4 billion bond...sets aside $4.4 billion for construction of treatment beds...and $2 billion is for housing, with a majority for homeless veterans.
