Now the governor wants to shift some of that money toward moving homeless people off the streets. This series explores the impact the governor’s plan will have on BIPOC and LGTBQ communities, and their efforts to take control of their own mental health care.  If you would like to get involved in mental health advocacy or have questions about the podcast, please email: info@cpehn.org
