Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors approved the Mental Health Services Act Three-Year Plan for 2017-2020 on November 7, 2017. The Board approved the Mental Health Services Act Reversion Plan for 2018-2020 on June 19, 2018.
Summary of Request:
Mendocino County receives funding from the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), or Proposition 63, which was enacted to address the urgent need for recovery-based, accessible, community-based mental health services in California. As outlined in Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section § 5847, each county must prepare and submit a Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan and Annual Updates for MHSA programs. The Plan and each Update are to address MHSA’s five components (Community Services and Supports, Prevention and Early Intervention, Innovation, Capital Facilities and Technological Needs, and Workforce Education and Training) along with expenditure projections for each component per year. Further, WIC § 5848 specifies that each draft of the Plan must be circulated for public review and comment for at least 30 days and that the mental health board must conduct a public hearing.
Health and Human Services Agency, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS), drafted the 2018-19 Annual Update to Mendocino County’s Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan based on input from six MHSA Forums over the course of Fiscal Year 2017-18 where feedback was collected from stakeholders as well as outcomes from services provided in Fiscal Year 2017-18. The Behavioral Health Advisory Board (BHAB) reviewed the final draft of the 2018-19 Annual Update and approved it for posting. The Update was then put out for the required 30-day public comment period from June 27, 2018, through July 27, 2018. The requisite public hearing was held on July 18, 2018.
Prior to presentation to the Board of Supervisors for signing and submitting (originally scheduled for August 21, 2018), the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) selected Mendocino County for a Pilot MHSA Audit in August 2018. Feedback from the DHCS reviewers contributed to substantive edits of the Plan, specifically additional detail in target numbers of clients served and categorization of Community Services and Support program types. These substantive changes to the plan warranted BHAB’s further review and approval as well as an additional 30-day public review and comment period, which was held from January 31, 2019, through March 3, 2019. A final public hearing was held on February 20, 2019.
After approval by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, BHRS will submit the Updated Plan to California’s Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission.
