Behavioral Health Transformation is the effort that will implement the
ballot initiative known as Proposition 1. Behavioral Health
Transformation complements and builds on California's other major
behavioral health initiatives including, but not limited to, California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative, the California Behavioral Health Community-Based Organization Networks of
Equitable Care and Treatment (BH-CONNECT) Demonstration proposal the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), Medi-Cal Mobile Crisis, 988 expansion,
and the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP).
Californians voted to pass Proposition 1 to modernize the behavioral health
delivery system, improve accountability and increase transparency, and expand
the capacity of behavioral health care facilities for Californians.
Proposition 1 includes up to $6.4 billion in bonds to build new supportive
housing and community-based treatment settings. DHCS is enacting changes
resulting from Proposition 1 through the Behavioral Health
Transformation project.
The two legislative bills that created the language in Proposition 1 are:
-
Behavioral Health Services Act SB 326
-
Behavioral Health Bond Act AB 531
