RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT the draft Mental Health Services Act Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan Update, for Fiscal Years 2015/16 through 2016/17.


AUTHORIZE and DIRECT the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to send a letter to that effect to the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) to inform the MHSOAC of their approval of the adoption of this Plan Update.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the Mental Health Services Act Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan Update, Fiscal Years 2015-2016 through FY 2016/17 assures continued MHSA funding for Fiscal Years 2015/2016 through 2016/2017 in the amount of $86,229,494.

BACKGROUND:

Proposition 63 was passed by California voters in the November 2004 election. Now known as the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), the legislation provides public mental health funding by imposing an additional one percent tax on individual taxable income in excess of one million dollars. There are a total of five MHSA components which have been enacted out over time by the State with the goal of creating a better program of mental health services and supports in California’s public mental health systems. The five components include: Community Services and Support; Prevention and Early Intervention; Workforce Education and Training; Capital Facilities and Technology; and Innovation. There are multiple programs operated within each component. This is a state mandated program under Welfare & Institutions Code.

The Consolidated Planning and Advisory Workgroup (CPAW) actively participated in the production of the plan and the Mental Health Commission hosted a public hearing and provided comments and recommendations.
