Los Angeles County Board Of Supervisors Motion: Creating On-Site Behavioral Health Crisis Response Teams For Los Angeles Restorative Care Villages

On December 1, 2021, the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors published this motion regarding the creation of on-site behavioral health crisis response teams for Los Angeles restorative care villages. Restorative Care Villages provide wrap-around care for homeless individuals after they have been discharged from County hospitals. Much of the County’s Care First, Jails Last agenda hinges on the County’s ability to successfully demonstrate that seriously mentally ill persons can safely live and thrive in community settings when provided appropriate supportive services. To that end each Restorative Care Village should have a trained and responsible crisis intervention . . .
