Information About the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)
MHSA - Proposition 63 Funding Process Information: Proposition 63 passed by voters in November 2004 became a state law called the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). Effective January 1, 2005, the MHSA assures State funding to counties for expanded and innovative mental health programs. San Diego County has identified needed services, and with community recommendations, has developed the new and expanded programs that have proven effective. The resulting three-year Community Supports and Services Plan was approved by the State in October 2005 and will be updated annually for State review. San Diego County undertook a massive program development and procurement process for expanding and enhancing mental health programs and the necessary support elements. As of Fall 2007, 95% of MHSA-CSS programs have begun to provide services. New CSS Enhancement programs are now being implemented. This section of this website offers information on the MHSA, the planning process and the transformation of mental health services in California and in particular - San Diego County. It includes the text of the MHSA, materials from the California Department of Mental Health, listings of meetings and links to related sites with current information and FAQs.
