The city of San Diego is considering declaring a crisis over the shortage of behavioral health beds, CBS affiliate KFMB reported Oct. 4.
If the city declared a crisis, it could receive more funding from the state and federal government, which it would use to hire more healthcare workers and open more beds; the city has lost nearly 3,000 behavioral health beds since 2017.
San Diego’s Economic Development and Intergovernmental Relations Committee recently voted unanimously to declare a crisis over the bed shortage. The full City Council is expected to vote on the matter by the end of the year, according to the report.
