What are the most important unmet mental health needs the City of Berkeley should consider when making funding decisions for the next three years?

Use the City of Berkeley’s online forum to weigh in on unmet mental health needs in the City of Berkeley.  We’ll use your input as one element in how we decide to use state Mental Health Services Act funds, which currently support a broad range of local prevention, early intervention, wellness and treatment services.

In order to access MHSA funds, local mental health jurisdictions create and obtain local approval on a stakeholder informed Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan that outlines how funds will be utilized.  Annual Updates on the Three Year Plan are also required.  Learn more about City of Berkeley Mental Health Services Act funds, read the current approved MHSA FY19/20 Annual Update, and see our news release. 

City of Berkeley Mental Health staff would like your input on the use of Mental Health Services Act funds in for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2020.
