Background
Proposition 63 (known as the Mental Health Services Act, or MHSA) passed in 2004. MHSA established a 1% increase in individual income taxes for Californians earning over $1 million per year, with the revenue to be used to fund the transformation of public mental health services throughout the state. These funds were divided by formula and allocated to county mental health agencies by the California Department of Mental Health (DMH), which until recently held primary responsibility for the approval of each county's MHSA Program and Expenditure Plan, annual updates thereto, and the distribution of MHSA funds. MHSA is now overseen by the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission MHSOAC).
Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) began the Community Program Planning (CPP) process for its Fiscal Year 2019-20 MHSA Annual Update in September 2018. HHSA contracted with Resource Development Associates (RDA) to manage the CPP activities.
In accordance with State law, the Yolo County MHSA Annual Updates included seeking input from consumers of mental health services, families and other community members, the Behavioral Health Provider Stakeholder Work Group, MHSA Stakeholder Meeting attendees and Local Mental Health Board members. In total,161 individuals participated in these activities to inform the plan which is up from 104 total participants the previous year. Summary documents were then compiled and formally reviewed with community stakeholders; subjected to the required public notice and posting period for review, comment and possible revision; presented for public hearing as prescribed by law; reviewed again by the Local Mental Health Board and recommended for forwarding to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors for approval.
The MHSA Plan Update for FY19-20 reflects on the successes and challenges of program implementation as well as provides an opportunity to project program changes, challenges/barriers, and provide projections for activities set to occur in FY19-20, for all programs included in the Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan FY2017-2020, approved by the Board on April 4, 2017.
Summary Dates
Following community input, the FY19-20 Plan Update underwent a 30-day public review process between May 2, 2019 and June 3, 2019, during which the draft MHSA Plan Update for FY19-20 was posted on the Internet, with copies in local libraries, mental health centers, and key administrative locations throughout the county. Public notices were widely posted throughout the county. On June 3, 2019, after completion of the Public Review and Comment Period, a Public Hearing was held at the Bauer Building in Woodland, facilitated by Local Mental Health Board Chairman James Glica-Hernandez. There were no public comments on the FY19-20 Plan Update.
On May 20, 2019, the draft MHSA Plan was submitted to the Yolo County Local Mental Health Board by HHSA and RDA, requesting LMHB recommendation for the final draft to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors at its next regular meeting, on June 25, 2019. |
