MEETING DATE: April 23,2024, AGENDA CATEGORY: New Business
TO: Housing and Homelessness Committee
FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager
DATE: April 11, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposition 1: Behavior Health Services Program and Bond Measure
Discussion of Proposition 1 Implementation with Kern County Behavioral Health and
Recovery Services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Committee receive and file presentation.
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, California voters passed Proposition 63, also known as the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA).
MHSA was designed to expand and transform California's behavioral health system to better serve
individuals with,and at risk of,serious mental health issues,and theirfamilies.Proposition 63 taxes people
with incomes over$ 1 million per year and requires the money collected from the tax be used for mental
health services.According to the Legislative Analyst's Office, MHSA raises$2-3.5 billion each year with at
least 95 percent of the money going directly to counties for mental health services.
In 2024, California voters passed Proposition 1. Proposition 1 has two major components:
1. Authorizes a $6.38 billion bond to build mental health treatment facilities for those with mental
health and substance abuse challenges and housing for the homeless.
2. Changes the Mental Health Services Act passed by voters in 2004, by requiring counties spend
more of their MHSA money on housing and personalized support services like employment
assistance and education,for people with mental health, drug, and substance abuse challenges.
The City of Bakersfield and Kern County Behavioral Health & Recovery Services (BHRS) will have a
discussion on the implementation of Proposition 1.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund.
