Fresno County Selected for CARE Court Program Boost; California Allocates $291M for Mental Health Services
California Governor Gavin Newsoms office has chosen Fresno County as one of ten spots in the state to receive extra assistance for launching the CARE Court program. This places Fresno in the CARE Improvement and Coordination Unit (CARE ICU), which provides hands-on support through targeted training and technical aid for local teams managing the programs rollout.
The state is also distributing $291 million in funding for behavioral health services and housing directly linked to CARE Court efforts. The program focuses on individuals with untreated schizophrenia or similar psychotic disorders, connecting them to long-term care through a court-guided plan. Family members, first responders, or professionals can initiate the process by filing petitions.
This initiative is part of a broader state effort to revamp the mental health system and combat homelessness, following years of inadequate support. Officials emphasize that the court process guides individuals towards help, not punishment.
