30-DAY COMMENT & REVIEW PERIOD

Tri-City Mental Health Authority (TCMHA) receives funding through the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), a voter-approved initiative aimed at transforming and expanding California’s public mental health system. One of the key components of the MHSA is Capital Facilities and Technological Needs (CFTN), which provides resources to support the infrastructure and technology necessary to deliver high-quality, community-based mental health services.

TCMHA is seeking approval for its CFTN Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-26, in the amount of $5,790,000. The proposed expenditure of CFTN funds will be used for property acquisition and technology enhancements. This CFTN Plan is being posted for a 30-day public review and comment period from June 12, 2025 through July 16, 2025 in accordance State MHSA Regulations (9 C.C.R. § 3315(b)). Community feedback is essential to ensuring our planning reflects the needs and priorities of those we serve.

The plan will be presented to the Mental Health Commission on July 8, 2025. Final review and potential adoption by the Tri-City Governing Board is scheduled for July 16, 2025, following the close of the public comment period. 

We encourage all community members to review the draft plan and share their comments. Feedback can be submitted:

About the Mental Health Services Act

The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), also known as Proposition 63, was passed by California voters in 2004 to improve the state’s public mental health system. It is funded through a 1% tax on personal income exceeding $1 million and is often referred to as the “millionaire’s tax.”

MHSA was designed to transform mental health care by promoting recovery-oriented, culturally responsive, and community-based services. It prioritizes support for individuals with serious mental illness, especially those who are unserved, underserved, or inappropriately served by existing systems. MHSA provides funding through five core components: Community Services and Supports (CSS); Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI); Innovation (INN); Workforce Education and Training (WET); and Capital Facilities and Technological Needs (CFTN). Together, these components support a comprehensive and coordinated system of care throughout California.
