The vote was closer than expected and caused the governor to delay his State of the State address.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom enters the prototype of a small home. At a 2023 news conference in Sacramento, California, he announced plans to build 1,200 small homes across the state to reduce homelessness. | Rich Pedroncelli/APSACRAMENTO, California — California voters have agreed to rewrite the state’s decades-old mental health law and borrow $6.4 billion for new facilities to house and treat the most severe cases — a top priority for Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“This is the biggest change in decades in how California tackles homelessness, and a victory for doing things radically different,” Newsom said in a statement. “Proposition 1’s passage means we can begin repairing the damage caused by decades of broken promises and political neglect to those suffering from severe mental illness.”
The measure also includes a $6.4 billion bond to build 11,000 addiction and mental health treatment beds and supportive housing for veterans. Prop 1 was popular with mayors, first responders and business interests, and has been widely supported by interest groups and corporations across the political spectrum. A committee controlled by Newsom raised over $16 million to pass the measure, and heavy advertising emphasized the proposal’s impact on homelessness and the well-being of military veterans.
