Mental Health Services Act
Featured Link
In November 2004, California voters passed Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). MHSA funding provides a broad continuum of prevention, early intervention and services, and the necessary infrastructure, technology and training elements to effectively support the local mental health services system throughout California.
Sonoma County's public planning process for implementation of the MHSA began in the fall of 2004 and has continued over the last five years. This webpage supports the ongoing work effort by providing access to related documents for each component of the MHSA:
- Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI)
- Community Services and Supports (CSS)
- Workforce Education and Training (WET)
- Capital and Technology
- Housing
For questions about this work effort, please contact us at MHSA@sonoma-county.org.
