San Diego’s Economic Development & Intergovernmental Relations Committee voted unanimously to declare a crisis over the bed shortage.
Local leaders say the city is in dire need of more beds for psychiatric, behavioral and substance use disorder patients.SAN DIEGO — Local leaders are considering declaring a crisis over the shortage of behavioral health beds in San Diego. These beds help provide treatment and resources to people experiencing psychiatric, behavioral or substance use disorders.
San Diego City Councilmember Raul Campillo is the Chair of the Economic Development & Intergovernmental Relations Committee. He says the city is in dire need of more mental health services. City officials said about a quarter of 9-1-1 calls are related to psychiatric, behavioral and substance use disorders. Yet since 2017, the city says it has lost nearly 3,000 behavioral health beds. The city's Economic Development & Intergovernmental Relations Committee voted unanimously to declare a crisis over the bed shortage.
Homeless advocates say expediting funding to behavioral health services would help the homeless crisis but it's only one piece of the puzzle.
