act starting monday. it stands for community assistance, recovery and empowerment. it's meant to help those with mental health disorders to get the help they need, even if they might not want it. abc7 news reporter lena howland is live in the newsroom with the details on how this is going to work in san francisco. lena. >> hey, reggie. good morning. san francisco is gearing up to bring mental health care treatment into court as the care act goes into effect. this monday, october 2nd. and the goal of this law is to help people with mental health disorders access both care and housing. so here's what's different about this program. it expands the range of people who can file a petition for someone to get mental health help. not

only family members can petition now, but also first responders who may encounter someone on our streets. san francisco's department of public health says the program will help them to tackle mental health differently, with potentially thousands on our streets qualifying so individuals can file petitions directly with the court and care court allows for a wide range of petitioners, including first responders, family members, workers, somebody who lives with an individual who's worried about them and those can get filed directly with the court. >> it's voluntary in that the court cannot force you to take medications or put you into a locked facility, but you're still having to come to court. the court's still going to order a treatment plan for you. so there's that aspect of it that makes it somewhat coercive. >> the san francisco public defender's office says even though participation in the care court program is voluntary, three judges have the last say. the mental health association of

san francisco opposes care court, citing not enough resource is to help everyone in need. and san francisco has about 2500 mental health and substance use disorder treatment beds and is adding more mental health. advocates say that's not enough. and under the care court, judges can find the city and county if they don't provide the necessary help and beds for people in need. live in the newsroom, lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you, lena. we are getting more reaction to the mayor of san francisco's plan to drug test people on welfare right now, more than 5000 unhoused or formerly unhoused people in san francisco are getting nearly $700 a month in welfare. mayor london re wants to make it so that people have to pass a drug test or seek treatment in order to get a check. the city points to its recent survey showing more than half of unhoused people self disclosed, having a substance use disorder stability reduced drug use, instability increases, drug use, taking away people's

vital money that they use to purchase the things that they need to survive will create more instability, may test clean. >> some may test dirty for myself if i can give you an answer because i go days and i don't. i go days and i don't honest me, the board of supervisors has to approve the plan before it can take effect. >> san francisco's effort to bring the downtown area back to life took another small step forward. the 101 california building celebrates its grand reopening yesterday with a party on its renovated plaza. numerous public officials showed up, including mayor london breed, about $75 million was spent to reimagine the building's interior and exterior, and the mayor hopes it becomes an attraction. >> and what's so great is how different it looks now, how much more inviting, how it creates an experience, how it draws people in. and as we continue to activate the downtown area to make it an attractive place for

you to work and play and enjoy, we hope that this is just the beginning. >> chime in. online banking service company is currently the main tenant in this building. it's been nearly six months since the pah'-ha-row levee breach in monterey county, and some people who once lived there still do not have homes. the board of supervisors voted to allocate about $1 million over the next six months to support those families. when the levee broke back in march, hundreds of people were living in cars. they were in motels. they were either at the santa cruz county fairgrounds right now, the county says about 30 people from ten households are having a hard time finding a stable home. >> they are not waiting for repairs and they are unable to find or be approved for new housing. and they're struggling to connect with with the limited availability of housing inventory, supervisors say they

are also concerned about levee repairs. >> as we're getting closer to the winter season, we're not sitting back. >> we are taking this very seriously. we're trying to push this along as quickly as possible. >> the county expects the levee to be back to its original state by november, but efforts to strengthen it won't get started until next summer. >> in the south bay, major progress is being made. rebuilding the anderson dam valley. water officials say work on a huge tunnel is more than halfway done. the tunnel will let the utility release more water faster and safer during major storms or emergencies. >> a lot of people don't think about what goes into delivering safe, clean water to their households. but there is a lot and this is, you know, our number one priority right now. >> officials say work is on track to finish the tunnel on time and move on to a seismic retrofit of the dam itself. that project is set to start in 2025. and last seven years. >> now, to prove that one person's trash can really be another person's treasure, two

artists created this art installation using nearly 2,500 pounds of trash collect from the bottom of lake tahoe. the statue is a nine foot bald eagle holding a trout. the base represents a ponderosa pine tree, which is actually made up of anchor chains and rope. the fish is a mosaic of sunglasses and fishing gear and the eagle's feathers are made of buoys and bumpers. volunteers say the message is clear. what used to be hunks of garbage and now it's pristine, clean and a beautiful reminder to protect lake tahoe moving forward in the future. hundreds of volunteers, including divers, kayakers and jet skiers, spent about 360 days collecting the trash. >> the turn of fall means the return of pumpkin patches. and this year's unusually wet winter has given us huge gourds. >> we've never had anything quite this big. in fact, behind us, we've actually removed our entire parking lot to make more room for more pumpkins. so it's really in the last few years has

grown exponentially, which is great. >> i wasn't ready for that match. sure, i loved it. i should have been ready, but i wasn't. many in california's agricultural community, including nash ranch in redding, they're seeing a big difference in their crops this year compared to the drought years. just a short while ago. and with less than one week until california's new water year begins, experts say 93% of the state is currently drought free. >> mm hmm. big gourds, you also do in your half moon bay tradition. >> is that what you want? oh, yeah. >> i'm waiting for it to hit a little bit cooler. you know, yesterday. today, it's like it's not in the mood yet to pick a pumpkins. a little too warm for me, but we'll go. we do have some wet weather this weekend, though, to talk about. it's not the entire weekend. we'll time it out for you. here's a live look outside from our exploratorium camera. we'll find clear conditions here, but we do have some patchy fog in parts of the east bay and in the north bay. but there are no dense pockets this morning. it's a bit breezy this afternoon. i think

the strongest winds today likely close to the coastline, but it's a different story tomorrow. tomorrow, we're all going to feel some very strong winds and these winds gusting over 30mph will usher in dramatically cooler weather starting tomorrow. and well into the weekend. but today, enjoy the warm temperatures, if you like, this autumnal mild weather pattern we're in. we have 74 in richmond today, 82 in san rafael, 76 in palo alto, 85 in concord, hit about 71 today in san francisco with a lot of sunshine overnight. tonight, we'll dip into the 50s with patchy fog out there. again, our marine layer is really disorganized this week. we're not finding generally overcast skies in the overnight hours. now, friday, temperatures are really going to dip. you'll start to feel that cooler weather move in here tomorrow. and then look at saturday. i mean, most of us are going to be stuck in the 60s. that does come with the chance of some rain. here's future weather. we see this low pressure develop, dip in here. this is saturday morning, 7 a.m. we're likely waking up to morning showers. but with the latest information, it doesn't linger all that long. it looks like it pushes out the

second half of saturday and sunday right now is actually looking pretty beautiful. so i think the best chance on the exclusive storm impact scale with this level one system on saturday is in the morning for some scattered showers. and then the second half of the weekend, it looks like the system is out of here. and we'll return to sunnier skies. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. it mild to warm today with that cooler weather moving in here tomorrow. scattered showers in the morning on saturday. we're still below average sunday, but we have a lot of sunshine warming being back with us later next week jobina. >> thank you, drew. good morning , everyone. so we're going to start by checking in on mass transit here. bart, muni and train all running on time right now. so if you need to use that for your commute this morning, you're in great shape and on the roadways as well. you can see from our live picture here in san jose showing you 87 how light the traffic is there. it's a bit busier, though, in oakland as we bring you our 80 at the coliseum camera, but we still don't have any blocking issues reported by the chp. we'll end here with our drive times across our bridges and for the golden gate bridge. it's only five minutes traveling southbound,

eight minutes westbound on the bay bridge, 11 minutes westbound on the san mateo bridge. coomassie. thanks, jobina. >> coming up, the seventh things to know this morning. >> opening up to inspire inclusion. how a hebrew school in north bay is doing its part oh, no!

teaching hebrew school at his small jewish congregation in the city of sonoma. well i'm going to the sukkah little sukkah here i come. but this year, the once a week classes are a little different. aren't. for the first time ever, the group has opened up to non-jewish students in a bid to help combat anti-semitism . >> um, the idea was that the more kids that come and study with us and learn our ways, experience our traditions, get to know us on a personal level, what is this rabbi? >> it's called the lulav. >> this year's group of kids includes 11 jewish students and two non-jews during class, they learn everything from teachings of the torah to ancient jewish holidays and traditions. as the inclusion of new students has been warmly received, we get to learn about other cultures and like it's just inviting kids in who aren't the same culture as us. >> and it's a new experience and it's fun. >> those types of feelings are exactly what rabbi finley wants to create. he says while jews have faced persecution for centuries, in recent times, he's

gotten more worried. he tells me his congregation regularly has armed security at their gatherings just to ensure peace of mind. according to the anti-defamation league, anti-semitic incidents are rising rampantly, not just across the us, but also right here in northern california. there were. 166 incidents in northern calif, and that was up to him, 137% year over year. that includes incidents as recently as one month ago in marin county. despite that reality, the rabbi says the challenges also give him strength, strength to keep going, strength to spread love and strength, to honor his ancestors. >> and we're an ethnicity and we're a culture and we're a nation. we're a tribe. we're a people or a religion. and we're not going to drop the baton on, you know, on our watch because as far as he's concerned, the work is only just beginning. it's a start. and we hope to, you know, with the success of

in the newsroom with how it's going to work in san francisco. lena. >> well, the state's care corp program meant to address serious mental illness and the state's homeless crisis. it goes into effect on monday under care. the court family and others such as first responders who may encounter someone on our streets, can file a petition in civil court if they believe a loved one is suffering from severe symptoms of an untreated psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia. the petition must also include either an affidavit from a licensed mental health professional which says they examined or attempted to examine the individual within 60 days of submitted submitting the paperwork or evidence the person was detained for at least two intensive treatments. it's then up to a judge to order a care plan for the person for up to 12 months with renewal for an additional 12 months. the governor's office says that person will be set up with a team to prescribe individualized treatment, along with supportive services and a housing plan. san francisco's department of public

health says the program will help them to tackle mental health differently, with potentially thousands on our streets qualifying when we look at the program, one of the criteria that somebody has to be suffering from a spectrum diagnosis. >> and when we look at a population estimate, our best range estimate right now is that roughly 1 to 2000 people in san francisco may meet criteria. >> 75% of folks who are approached who have serious mental illness about assisted outpatient treatment are more than willing to participate in some type of assisted outpatient treatment and forced forced treatment is basically taking folks civil liberties away and forcing them to do things they may not understand. >> the mental health association of san francisco, who you just heard from, opposes care court, citing not enough resources to help everyone in need. san francisco has about 2500 mental health and substance use disorder treatment beds and is adding more mental health advocates say that's not enough

>> i'm always optimistic and, you know, maybe some some dna or some sort of biological evidence will exist in the future to reanalyze. but i can tell you, we're not going to stop investigating this case. >> law enforcement transferred kane from oregon to california yesterday. he is set to appear before a judge this afternoon. and investigators are hoping someone has some information that can help in the martinez case. you can call the line on your screen right now as a tip line. and you can remain anonymous when you call. >> reggie, thanks, jobina. this morning, a new struggle for some people who live near several bay area target stores that are set to close. they're left to find a new pharmacy to fill much needed prescriptions in oakland, for example, the closest cvs to the target that is closing is a mile away. abc7 spoke with a business professor at cal state east bay . he says target can't be faulted for closing since its primary response ability is to stakeholders. but in a place

like oakland, the pressure falls on the city to do more to manage the decreasing number of pharmacies as the city can try and take action so that it is more welcoming to these corporates, more welcoming to these retailers. >> because ultimately, if there are no facilities out there, you won't have a thriving population there. so it is all connected. >> the store closures are happening next month for seniors in oakland who are worried about their safety can participate in a self-defense demonstration today. >> this is just one part of the 20th annual healthy living festival and the united seniors of oakland and alameda county are hosting this event at the oakland zoo this morning. he gives older adults a chance to socialize with others. it goes from nine until two and you have to register in advance. bay area doctors are calling for more latina latina representation in the health care industry. this was a scene santa clara valley health care yesterday as providers celebrated national latina physician day. one doctor
