BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Mental Health Services Act of 2004 (MHSA), passed by the voters as “Proposition 63,” increased overall State funding for the community mental health system by imposing a 1% income tax on California residents with more than $1 million per year in income. County Mental Health Plans are required to develop detailed plans for the use of MHSA funds in each of these components - Prevention and Early Intervention, Community Services and Supports, Innovations, Workforce Education and Training, Capital Facilities/Technology Needs.
Napa County Office of Education was awarded Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) funding to continue to provide PEI services to children and transition age youth. NCOE’s Court and Community Schools Student Assistance Program (SAP) will provide screening, support and referral to additional mental health services as needed. The updates include revising the scope of work and budget to reflect the change in funding awarded through the RFP process.
