| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Yolo County began the Community Program Planning (CPP) process for its Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan in September, 2016. HHSA contracted with Resource Development Associates (RDA) to facilitate the CPP activities, which will culminate in drafting of the new plan. In late October and early November 2016, RDA initiated a community needs assessment, facilitating 17 local focus groups, collecting surveys from clients, and conducting interviews of key informants in Yolo County. At the presentation to the Board of Supervisors on November 22, 2016, RDA will provide an overview of its four-phase Community Planning Process and a mid-point report of progress. RDA will seek input from the Board of Supervisors regarding the results and their interests. Going forward, RDA will assemble information to be used in three stakeholder summits (December 6 foci: Children and Youth Systems of Care; December 7 foci: Adult and Older Adult Systems of Care; December 9 topics: Capital Facilities, Technology, Workforce Education, and Innovation). Ultimately, RDA will assemble all information gathered and assist HHSA in drafting the new MHSA Plan, presenting the plan for public review, comment and hearing, then seeking recommendation of the Local Mental Health Board. HHSA anticipates completion of the public review process in March 2017, and presentation of the final draft of the MHSA Plan to the Board of Supervisors at the April 5, 2017 meeting.
History:
The Mental Health Services Act, passed in 2004 as Proposition 63, provides for a 1% tax on personal incomes over $1 Million, which revenue is divided by formula and distributed directly to counties in order to expand and transform the mental health system while meeting the needs of un-served 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 presently preparing to submit its next MHSA Program and Expenditure Plan in advance of FY 2017-18, the first year in the next three-year cycle. |
