The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), also known as Proposition 63, has served as the primary source of funding for all MHSA programs for Tri-City Mental Health Authority since 2008. Passed in 2004, the MHSA is funded through a tax imposed on Californians whose income exceeds 1 million dollars. Known as the “millionaire’s tax” this initiative is designed to expand and transform California’s county mental health system to provide more comprehensive care for those with serious mental illness, specifically in unserved and underserved populations.
