In March 2024, voters approved Proposition 1 to reform the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and fund needed behavioral health facility infrastructure through a general obligation bond. The Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) is the first major structural reform to the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) since it was passed in 2004. BHSA is funded by a 1% tax surcharge on personal incomes over $1 million per year.
The San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) invites community members to review and provide feedback on the first-ever Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Integrated Plan for Fiscal Years 2026 – 2029 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2029).
The BHSA Integrated Plan outlines how San Bernardino County will use funding to address community behavioral health needs. It reflects input from community members, stakeholders, and partner agencies, and guides services and investments for the next three fiscal years.
