| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) began the Community Program Planning (CPP) process for its Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan FY 2020-2023 in September of 2019. The process was led by HHSA Community Health Branch staff in collaboration with staff from C.A.R.E. Consulting Group. As part of the reporting process, an Annual Report is required to account for changes that may have taken place from the initial Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan and provide an update on services.
The Yolo County MHSA Annual Update FY 2021-2022 30-day public comment period opened on May 28, 2021 and closed Sunday, June 27, 2021. The county announced and disseminated the draft Annual Update broadly through community stakeholders, the general public, the Community Engagement Work Group, MHSA listservs, service providers, consumers and family members, Board of Supervisors, Local Mental Health Board, county staff, social media, and requested and encouraged partners and community stakeholders to promote the review of the draft plan and participation by posting and sharing with others. This engagement outreach built off of the extensive Three-Year Program Community Planning Process connecting the MHSA program to a broad array of stakeholders and including them on all subsequent notifications. Public Notices were also posted in the Davis Enterprise and the Daily Democrat newspapers for several dates. The draft was posted to the county’s MHSA website and could be downloaded electronically, and paper copies were also made available at HHSA locations in Woodland, Winters, Davis, and West Sacramento within Yolo County. Any interested party could request a copy of the draft by submitting a written or verbal request to the MHSA program staff.
All public comments and HHSA responses will be incorporated into the MHSA Annual Update and a public hearing took place by the Yolo County Local Mental Health Board on Monday, June 28, 2021 at 6:00 PM, by teleconference. HHSA will subsequently request LMHB recommendation for the final Annual Update to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors at its next regular meeting. On July 27, 2021, HHSA will seek approval of the finalized MHSA Annual Update FY 2021-2022 by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors.
History
The Mental Health Services Act, passed in 2004 as Proposition 63, provides for a 1% tax on personal incomes over $1 million. This revenue is divided by formula and distributed directly to counties to expand and transform the mental health system while meeting the needs of unserved or underserved consumers. On a triennial basis, each county is required to submit a program and expenditure plan for use of these funds, followed by two annual updates to the plan. HHSA is submitting this MHSA Annual Update to account for fiscal year 2021-2022. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
