[quote=Anonymous]CA under Gavin Newsome has moved in the direction of making involuntary commitments easier for treatment of SMI and SUD. It's something DC should consider both for the benefit of the individual and for public safety. The sidewalks and parks are not psych wards or rehabs and the current scenario is cruel and inhumane. I will also point out re: vouchers that putting putting people with a history of violence and criminal behavior, often with SMI and SUD in regular apartment buildings with kids and vulnerable elderly poses safety considerations. Any services offered for SMI and/or SUD are completely VOLUNTARY. Housing First (a HUD program) does not allow any conditions to be put on the vouchers. The WP did a series on issues at Sedgewick Gardens, The Forest Hills Connect has also written on the issues. [/quote]
