Reason for Recommended Action/Background
In October 2022, 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 & Expenditure Plan for Fiscal Years 2023-2026. This process included 32 focus groups with 516 participants, their family and friends, people on the front lines, emergency responders, adults, parents, youth, LGBTQ+ people, diverse racial and cultural communities, five key informant interviews with HHSA Leadership and County Supervisors, three Community Engagement Work Groups (CEWG), and MHSA updates and presentations to the Local Mental Health Board and the Board of Supervisors.
This presentation will provide an update on the Community Program Planning (CPP) process, key strategic priorities, the proposed spend plan, and next steps.

Background
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 a State formula and distributed directly to counties to expand and transform the mental health system while meeting the needs of unserved or underserved consumers. Per MHSA regulations, county MHSA funds must be spent in the following manner across five core components:
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 a State formula and distributed directly to counties to expand and transform the mental health system while meeting the needs of unserved or underserved consumers. Per MHSA regulations, county MHSA funds must be spent in the following manner across five core components:
- 76% on Community Services and Supports (CSS) for programs to address adults with severe mental illness and children and youth with serious emotional disturbance. Of this 76% in CSS funding, 51% must be spent on Full-Service Partnership programs that provide full wrap-around services for high-need clients
- 19% on Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services of which 51% must be allocated to services for individuals under 25 years old
- 5% on Innovation projects that introduce a new practice or approach
- Workforce Education and Training (WET)
- Capital Facilities and Technological Needs (CFTN)
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 has developed this draft MHSA Three-Year Plan to account for fiscal years 2023-2026.
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
A broad array of community partners participated in the MHSA plan development.
