Passed by California voters in November 2004, Proposition 63 (known now as the Mental Health Services Act or MHSA), created a 1% increase in income taxes on personal income over 1 million dollars. These new tax revenues created the first expansion of funding for mental health services in many years. To access these funds, local mental health systems like Tri-City are required to engage a broad range of stakeholders and prepare five substantive plans.

- - Community Services and Support (CSS)
    - - Approved in 2009, the CSS plan provides intensive treatment and transition services for people who experience serious and persistent mental illness or severe emotional disturbances or who are at risk of SMI/SED.
  - Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI)
    - - Approved in 2010, PEI programs focus on early intervention and prevention services in addition to anti-stigma efforts.
  - Workforce Education and Training (WET)
    - - Approved in 2012, the WET efforts focus on strengthening and supporting existing staff and caregivers through trainings while focusing on attracting new staff and volunteers to ensure future mental health personnel.
  - Innovation (INN)
    - - Approved in 2012, Innovation consists of short-term projects, one to five years, that explore novel efforts to strengthen aspects of the mental health system.
  - Capital Facilities and Technological Needs (CFTN)
    - - Approved in 2013, the CFTN plan focused on improvements to facilities, infrastructure and technology of the local mental health system.
