Mental Health Services Act Growth
Funding Plan
Available for Review and Comment
(Santa Ana) – The Orange County Health Care Agency’s plan to seek
an additional $9 million in Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) growth
funding for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 is now available for public review and
comment during a 30-day period that ends March 7, 2007.
The plan details how growth funding will be used for new or expanded
programs to serve children, transitional age youth, adults and older
adults with serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance.
Copies of the Plan and Executive Summary will be available on the Health
Care Agency website at
www.ochealthinfo.com/prop63. The Executive Summary will also be
available in Spanish and Vietnamese.
The California Department of Mental Health notified counties that
additional Community Services and Supports funding is available due to
higher than anticipated revenues under Proposition 63 – The Mental
Health Services Act. The Orange County plan was developed through a
collaborative process that began in October 2006, and the plan has been
approved by the 59-member MHSA Steering Committee. Following the review
and comment period, the plan will be submitted to the Orange County
Mental Health Board and County of Orange Board of Supervisors for final
approval before being submitted to the State.
For more information or to obtain a hard copy of the Growth Funding
Plan, contact the MHSA Office at (714) 834-2907.
