What is the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA)?
The Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) modernizes the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), which was passed by California voters in 2004, to better address today’s behavioral health system and community needs. The transition from MHSA to BHSA does not introduce additional funding, but it establishes new requirements, modifies how counties’ allocations may be used, and redistributes funding across new BHSA components and updated service categories.
BHSA prioritizes care for individuals with the most serious mental health conditions, expands services to include treatment for individuals with standalone substance use disorders, provides resources to support housing and workforce development, and continues investments in early intervention programs.
