Fifth & Mission

How Alameda County's Mental Health System is Fueling Homelessness


Listen Later

An Alameda County grand jury report has found that the local mental health system is making the area's homeless crisis worse. Among the findings is a lack of basic consensus on solutions, which cause mentally ill residents to cycle in and out of ERs and jails. Chronicle reporter Lauren Hepler joins host Cecilia Lei to discuss the holes in the county's social services. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
