Summary
First, I talk about random life updates whilst utilizing a new Saramonic Air SE. Then, I talk about my bricked phone. THEN. FOR THE MAIN STORY TODAY... Sonoma County voters approved Measure O to fund mental health, addiction recovery, and homelessness services—but is the money being used as intended? Out of $33.1 million generated, just $625,740 has gone toward housing. In this episode, we dig into where the rest is going, why mental health facilities are receiving the bulk of funding, and what that means for the region’s homelessness crisis. I dive into Sonoma County’s Measure O tax and something that doesn’t quite add up. The program has brought in over $33 million, but less than $1 million has gone toward housing services. So where is the rest going? We talk about mental health funding, homelessness, and whether the system is actually helping people get off the streets.
