MHSA “Modernization” Session 3: SB 326 Stakeholder Involvement Changes - Webinar Recording

On August 21, 2023 Cal Voices provided a third information session to inform stakeholders on the impacts that SB 326 will have on the behavioral health system with a focus on the housing component. SB 326 is pending before the legislature, and if approved, would go on the March 2024 ballot.

BACKGROUND:
On June 19, the Legislature introduced for the first time 233 pages of changes to the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and related law in Senate Bill 326. The bill fundamentally alters the public behavioral health system and will likely result in loss of funding to community-based service providers, and loss of services to mental health clients and their families.

Cal Voices believes the MHSA was a hallmark ballot initiative intended to transform the mental health system, and believes it puts the clients, and the community in a position of shared power (long overdue) with the government entities creating programs and policies to serve our behavioral health needs. We believe SB 326 has catastrophic consequences for our public behavioral health system and the people it serves.
