A number of projects funded through Proposition 1 — the $6. 4 billion behavioral-health bond voters narrowly approved in March 2024 — have been delayed or abandoned even as state officials promoted the measure as a way to quickly expand treatment capacity, reports say. The bond measure was designed to help counties and providers build new mental-health treatment beds and housing for people with serious mental illness or substance-use disorders.
