FALSE: $236 Million spent on just 22 people in four years of CARE Court
Claim
CLAIM: Governor Gavin Newsom spent $236 million on CARE Court which helped just 22 people in 4 years.
Fact
FACT: CARE Court has helped THOUSANDS of Californians into care to recover — not 22.
Murdoch’s New York Comic Book is laundering a fake stat from a foreign tabloid to attack a program that is publicly tracked and clearly working.
Even under the most NARROW definition (court-ordered treatment plans, which is one of many treatment outcomes), the number is 600+ and growing.
More Lies ...
FALSE CLAIM: $24 billion for homelessness went missing, no one knows where it went.
That’s flat-out false.
FALSE CLAIM: Homelessness is growing faster under the Newsom Administration
In California, unsheltered population grew almost 4x faster from 2014-2019 (before Newsom Admin) than during the Newsom Administration.
Homelessness is NOT increasing in California faster than anywhere else in the country.
Homelessness in California increased just 3.13%, while the nation saw a 18.13% increase.
