Committee approves Mental Health Services Act allocations, adds retroactivity
Summary
Supervisors forwarded a resolution approving MHSA community services and supports allocations totaling about $19 million over several years; the committee amended the resolution to provide retroactivity to February and sent it to the full Board with recommendation.
The committee read and advanced a resolution approving Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) contract actions that consolidate prior community services and supports allocations. Dr. Alice Glickhorn, deputy director of Community Behavioral Health Services, explained the item covers a third iteration of state allocation methods for counties and represents roughly $19 million across multiple years and program phases.
Members treated the item as largely ministerial and agreed to amend it to make funding retroactive to February. Budget analyst Harlen Rose concurred with the amendment, and the committee forwarded the matter to the full Board with a favorable recommendation.
