SAN DIEGO – Gov. Gavin Newsom visited San Diego today to announce a “big idea, a big deal” ballot measure to address homelessness, mental health and substance addiction in California.
The governor said “we have to address and come to grips” with providing permanent housing for the homeless, mental health treatment and drug addiction. Part of the measure would be paid for with general obligation bonds for building new community mental health facilities in California. More than 10,000 Californians with mental illness and substance abuse disorders would be served, Newsom said.
That act levies a 1% tax on incomes more than $1 million each year to help pay for California’s mental health system. Newsom said he wants to add $1 billion a year for housing those with mental illness and substance abuse disorders.“Nobody does it better than San Diego,” the governor added. “We own this moment,” he added. “We’re going to win this thing in November 2024.”
