Draft BHSA Three-Year Integrated Plan (FY 2026–2029)
Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services (BHS) has released the Draft Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Three-Year Integrated Plan for Fiscal Years 2026–2029 for public review and comment.
The draft Integrated Plan will be available beginning February 16, 2026, and will remain posted for a 30-day public comment period. Community members are encouraged to review the plan and share feedback to help inform local priorities, strengthen behavioral health services, and support continuous system improvement.
Community input is a critical part of the planning process. Feedback from residents, individuals with lived experience, family members, advocates, providers, and community partners helps ensure behavioral health services are equitable, accessible, and responsive to the needs of Sacramento County.
A public hearing on the draft Integrated Plan will be held at the Behavioral Health Commission (BHC) General Meeting on March 18, 2026. Members of the public are invited to attend and provide comment.
After the public comment period and hearing, Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services will review input received, finalize the plan, and proceed with required county approvals prior to submission to the California Department of Health Care Services.
BHSA History
The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) was passed by California voters in 2004 and funded by a 1% income tax on personal income over $1 million per year. It was designed to expand and transform California’s behavioral health system to better serve individuals with, and at risk of, serious mental health issues, and their families. MHSA addressed a broad continuum of prevention, early intervention, and service needs and the necessary staff training, technology, and resources that make these services possible. In 2024, voters passed Proposition 1, which replaced the MHSA with the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) and introduced several important changes for counties.
