supervisor alioto-pier: why don't we begin with carla jacobs, treatment advocacy center? the morning. thank you for coming back. >> good morning. i have provided you both with a functional inclined of laura's law as well as a briefing paper. supervisor chu: just one second. this is a person who as a member of the public we will do the typical three-minute time, and if we have questions, we can ask at that time. >> i want to thank the board of supervisors of san francisco because laura's law is a case of saving lives. yes, it is going to make better resource use. it is going to reduce hospitalization by 77%. it is going to reduce jailings and incarceration by 80% or more, but primarily, this is to give citizens in san francisco the ability to get well and stay well. it is the combination of the therapeutic jurisprudence of a court order and intensive community treatment services. studies have shown that court order by itself, services by themselves to this very ill population is not as effective as the combination. this is for people who are already in the community system
