On April 19, 2024, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) will host a Behavioral Health Infrastructure Bond Act of 2024 Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) Rounds 7 and Round 8: Unmet Needs Public Listening Session. This session is open to the public, including city, county, tribal entities, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations.
In March, California voters passed Proposition 1, a two-bill package including the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) (Senate Bill 326) and the Behavioral Health Infrastructure Bond Act (BHIBA) (Assembly Bill 531). The BHIBA portion is a $6.38B general obligation bond to develop an array of behavioral health treatment, residential care settings, and supportive housing to help provide appropriate care facilities for Californians experiencing mental health conditions and substance use disorders.
DHCS is developing plans for distribution of $4.3 billion in BHIBA funds for BHCIP competitive grants. During this public listening session, input can be provided directly to DHCS on BHCIP bond funding.
