LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lakeport Police Department, city of Lakeport, Lake County Behavioral Health and Lake Family Resource Center are partnering to conduct a town hall meeting to address the homelessness and mental illness crisis in our community.
The event will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Soper Reese Theatre,
275 S. Main St. in Lakeport.
The intent of the public meeting is to engage with the community, hear your questions and address your concerns.
Homelessness and mental illness are complex issues requiring the collaboration of agencies and the community.
The agenda will include an overview of legislative and voter changes to criminal justice laws over the past decade that impact treatment of individuals, response to mental illness locally, and the constraints faced by agencies in rural areas.
Presenters will discuss the status of the crisis responder program operated cooperatively by Lakeport Police and Lake Family Resource Center.
This call for action in seeking solutions will include a survey for public feedback.
Plan to attend this important town hall event to share your input.
Please contact Chief Brad Rasmussen at the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491 for more information.
