San Diego Councilwomen Jennifer Campbell and Marni von Wilpert said Tuesday that they intend to fund a special conservatorship unit to assist homeless individuals as part of their budget priorities for the next fiscal year.
The funds they suggest allocating would be used to prioritize treatment and housing placements for those experiencing homelessness with mental illness that leads to frequent calls on city emergency services, as well as provide for basic daily needs such as medical care, food, clothing and shelter.
A newly hired treatment coordinator would assess individuals and refer them to treatment options, including court appointment of the county public guardian as their conservator. Two deputy city attorneys would coordinate with the offices of the public guardian and public conservator, make referrals and file conservatorship petitions with the court.
