Housing is an essential component of behavioral health treatment, recovery, and stability. Thirty percent of each county’s Behavioral Health Services Act funding allocation must be used for housing interventions for Californians with the most significant behavioral health needs who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Half of that amount is prioritized for individuals and families experiencing long-term homelessness. The Behavioral Health Services Act provides ongoing revenue for counties to assist people with severe behavioral health needs with housing and provides a path to long-term recovery, including ongoing capital to build more housing options. Additionally, more than 11,150 new behavioral health treatment beds and supportive housing units will be funded for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness and who have behavioral health needs, with a dedicated housing investment to serve veterans. Per Proposition 1, 30 percent of county Behavioral Health Services Act allocations each year will include housing supports. Based on projections for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027, the total annual statewide housing component will be approximately $950 million (see Question 6).​​
