Gavin Newsom announced would deliver an additional $1.18 billion statewide on March 11, 2026. ballotpedia.org A San Francisco Board of Supervisors filing shows the city applied for about $144 million in Prop 1 capital funds for six projects, specifically requesting a 16‑bed dual‑diagnosis unit, 40 substance‑use treatment beds, a 12‑bed expansion of Psychiatric Emergency Services and 50 locked subacute beds. sfbos.org Statewide reporting and local advocates say the same Prop 1 round is directing roughly $190 million to eight Bay Area facilities while the administration touts more than $4 billion in Prop 1 investments already mobilized for behavioral‑health facilities across California. nwvcil.org
