Mental Health Services Act

 

Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)

DBH MHSA Logo

California voters passed Proposition 63 in November 2004, the Mental Health Services Act, (MHSA) with 53.4% of the vote. Now, through the provisions of the MHSA, the challenges become the opportunities to fund a community mental health system that adequately meets the needs of children, adults, and older adults with serious mental illness and reduces the long-term adverse impact resulting from untreated serious mental illness. To get more information regarding the Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63), visit the California Department of Mental Health website.

What's New: 

The MHSA provides funding to expand community mental health services in six different components; Community Planning, Community Services & Supports (CSS), Prevention & Early Intervention (PEI), Innovative Programs, Capital Facilities and Technology (CFT), and Workforce Education & Training (WET). The following is the status of those components:

  • Through the CSS plan, 9 approved programs are currently up and running.  Follow the link under MHSA Documents to obtain contact information for those programs.

  • PEI is currently in the planning stages and the proposed 3 year program & expenditure plan is currently being developed.

  • WET is currently in the stakeholder development process, and various proposals are being reviewed.

  • The state has just released the plan guidelines for Capital Facilities and Technologies enabling the planning process to move forward.

  • The Department is currently in the process of developing a strategic Housing Plan for the county.

The Department of Behavioral Health looks forward to continuing our partnership with the community as we work together to transform and expand mental health services in the County of San Bernardino.
