Funding Opportunity: Mental Health Services Act

The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)-Prop 63 was passed by California Voters in 2004. The proposition is funded by a 1% tax on personal income over $1 million per year with the goal of utilizing the funds to expand and transform California’s behavioral health system to better serve individuals with and at risk of serious mental health issues and their families.

Nevada County Behavioral Health is developing the 3-year plan for MHSA programming for Fiscal Year 23/24 through Fiscal Year 25/26. As part of the planning process, counties are called to engage in a competitive Request for Information (RFI) process for MHSA providers.

Three separate RFIs have been released to correspond with the three primary programming categories of MHSA services. The RFIs include:

  1. Community Service and Supports (CSS) Programming
  2. Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Programming in Western Nevada County
  3. Tahoe/Truckee Prevention and Early Intervention Programming- Jointly released with Placer County

A virtual Pre-Bidder’s Conference is scheduled for January 9th at 1:00 p.m.
