Steering Committee Meeting

(Santa Ana) – The process of implementing Proposition 63 – The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) in Orange County has reached a pivotal point, and the public is invited to attend the final MHSA Steering Committee meeting on Wednesday, September 28th, from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at the Delhi Center, 505 East Central Avenue, Santa Ana.

“I hope that all Steering Committee members and the many interested members of the public who have participated in the MHSA public input process will make the time to attend this important meeting,” said Dorothy Hendrickson, MHSA Administrator. “Participation in this final Steering Committee meeting is vital to the success of this important project.”

The final Steering Committee meeting is an important milestone in Orange County’s effort to submit a three-year Community Services and Supports Plan to the State Department of Mental Health (DMH) by the end of December 2005. It is anticipated that this will be the final Steering Committee meeting prior to beginning work on the draft plan required by DMH.

Steering Committee members should note the meeting is now scheduled for 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. For more information about the meeting, contact the MHSA Office at (714) 834-2907.
