Background: In November 2004, California voters passed Proposition 63, now known as the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). The Act addresses five components, with the first component being Community Services and Supports. This three-year plan was formally approved by the State on April 28, 2006. On April 1, 2008, the Board adopted the updated Agreement Number: 07-77309-000 that increased the contract amount from $4,125,093 to $5,171,662 and extended the term to include spending related to MHSA implantation costs back to July 1, 2004. On June 3, 2008, the Board authorized the extension of the MHSA Agreement through June 30, 2009. This plan update and modification would provide an additional funding allocation of $2,515,100 for FY 2008-09.
Reason for Recommendation: The Department is recommending the submittal of a request for $2,515,100 to be used for the continuation and updates of the programs below. This update includes estimated unexpended rollover MHSA funds from FY 2007-08 of $488,823. Therefore, the FY 2008-09 plan update includes this rollover plus the additional funding requested of $2,515,100, for a total budget of $3,003,923.
