| 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 in September of 2016. HHSA contracted with Resource Development Associates (RDA) to manage the CPP activities, including facilitating 20 local focus groups, collecting client surveys, interviewing key informants and reporting findings to the community.
On January 10, 2017, RDA presented to the Board of Supervisors an overview of proposed programs and services to be included in the new MHSA Plan and sought input from the Board. The following day, RDA presented this information to stakeholders at three Community Report-Back Meetings (in Woodland, West Sacramento and Esparto).
RDA has now assembled all information gathered and will assist HHSA in drafting the new MHSA Plan. On February 7, RDA will return to the Board of Supervisors to provide an update before the draft of the MHSA Plan is posted for public review and comment. Following the requisite formally noticed 30-day public posting and public hearing, HHSA will seek the recommendation of the Local Mental Health Board. On or about April 5, HHSA will return to the Board of Supervisors with the final draft (including public comments), to seek approval of the new MHSA Plan.
Background
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. |
