Behavioral Health Transformation
DHCS took a step forward to modernize the state’s behavioral health delivery system. Behavioral Health Transformation (BHT) will improve access to care, increase transparency, and expand treatment facilities for Californians in need. BHT is supported by the passage of Proposition 1, which includes up to $6.4 billion in bonds to build 11,150 new behavioral health treatment beds and supportive housing, as well as outpatient capacity to help serve tens of thousands of people annually – from intensive services for people experiencing homelessness who also have severe mental illness, to counseling for children with depression, and everyone in between.
