Mental Health Services Act

Mental Health Services Act

In 2004, California voters passed the Mental Health Services Act or MHSA (Proposition 63). The MHSA places a 1% tax on personal incomes over $1,000,000 and then distributes those funds to behavioral health departments across the state. The goal of the MHSA is to transform the public mental health system into one that is client- and family-driven, recovery-oriented, accessible, and culturally competent.

In Mono County, the Behavioral Health Department uses MHSA funds to pay for a very wide array of programs, activities, and services. For more information on how the MHSA is working in our community, please see the Mental Health Services Act FY 24-25 Annual Update, which was approved by the Behavioral Health Advisory Board following a 30-day public comment period during a Public Hearing on June 10, 2024 and approved by the Mono County Board of Supervisors on June 18, 2024.

Opportunity for Public Comment

MCBH is pleased to present its 2025-2026 Mental Health Services Act Annual Update, which provides a progress report of MHSA activities for the 2024-2025-2024 fiscal year and an overview of current or proposed MHSA programs planned and/or underway for the fiscal year 2025-2026. Also, this report will provide you with specific data and information about our PEI and our Innovation programs. Please find file listed below.

This will be MCBH's final Mental Health Services Act Annual Update before the state moves counties toward the Behavioral Health Services Act Integrated Plan for FY 2026-2029, which is due March 31, 2026.

Other MHSA plans and related materials are listed in the supporting documents below.
