Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)
About The Mental Health Services Act
The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) provides funding to counties to expand and develop innovative and integrated mental health services for children, youth, adults, and older adults. California voters passed Prop 63 in November 2004 as the result of a grassroots coalition intending to transform public mental health care.
The intent of this website is to inform and invite you to participate in the implementation of the MHSA.
