flag San Diego County, despite high petition volume and strong outcomes, wasn’t ranked by Newsom due to focus on petition numbers alone.

flag San Diego County was not named a CARE Court champion or underperformer by Governor Newsom for 2025 despite filing 216 petitions, above the state average, due to ranking based solely on petition volume. flag While nearly 60% of its petitions were dismissed, the county has secured 182 treatment agreements and seen a 66% drop in crisis service use, with 32 program graduates—the most in the state. flag Santa Clara County, criticized for only 53 CARE Court petitions since December 2024, counters that its outreach teams have connected 66 individuals to treatment without court involvement, relying on mobile crisis units, preventive services, and existing behavioral health courts, which officials say offer effective alternatives to the CARE Court model.
