Despite the confidence he projected about Proposition 1, Gov. Gavin Newsom's ballot measure on California's mental health services is leading narrowly.

Prop 1 would fund a $6.4 billion bond, of which $4.4 billion would go to sharply increasing the availability of substance abuse treatment, while the rest would build permanent supportive housing for unhoused folks. Half of that would go to housing for veterans with mental illness or addiction.
