RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the recommendation of the Behavioral Health Services Director to adopt the Mental Health Services Act Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan Update for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

AUTHORIZE and DIRECT the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to send a letter to that effect to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) to inform DHCS and 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 Year 2022-23 assures continued MHSA funding in the amount of $63,214,544.

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 Supports; 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, it would result in the loss of mental health programs and related services (including Full Service Partnerships, AOT, Mobile Crisis Response Teams, Prevention and Early Intervention and more) which serve Contra Costa community members of all ages who reside in every region of the county.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Mental health impacts people of all ages and impacts entire family systems and communities.

This recommendation supports all of the following children's outcomes:
- Children Ready for and Succeeding in School;
- Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood;
- Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and
- Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
Additionally
- Preventing mental health problems in children and youth from developing and becoming severe and disabling.
- Children and youth recovering from impact of trauma, severe emotional disturbance, and mental illness.
