"Return of the Ugly Laws: In the Name of ‘Modernization,’ the Newsom Administration Wants to Disappear Unhoused and Disabled People from the Streets, Rebuild the Asylums"

#Disability #USPol #California #CAREact #DisabilityVisibility

On October 1, over the vehement objections of disabled activists, housing justice activists, and human rights organizations, the Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Act went into effect in seven California counties. The law empowers family members, social service providers, police, and first responders to refer primarily unhoused people diagnosed with schizophrenia or other severe mental illnesses to a regime of civil courts that would compel them to accept a “care plan” handed down by a judge. In theory, people are allowed to refuse the care plan, but non-compliance could potentially initiate institutionalization or even conservatorship proceedings.

Inequity is baked into the program. Due to long standing medical and systemic racism, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are more likely to be unhoused, receive severe mental illness diagnoses, be subjected to involuntary interventions, and therefore may be more frequently referred to CARE Court.
