April 21, 2025 Public Comment Now Open for Draft MHSA 2025 26 Annual Update

Community residents are invited to review and comment on the Humboldt County Draft Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) 2025-2026 Annual Update.

In 2004, California voters approved Proposition 63, or MHSA, which placed a 1 percent tax on personal incomes in excess of $1 million. This revenue is used to develop and support local mental health programs for children, youth, adults and older adults.

The comment period runs from now through May 22, 2025. A public hearing is scheduled for May 22, and will be facilitated by the Humboldt County Behavioral Health Board in a hybrid format. The meeting will be held from 12:15 to 2:15 p.m. at the Professional Building located at 507 F St. in Eureka. Additional information on the public hearing will be available on the Behavioral Health Board's May agenda, including the Zoom link, at humboldtgov.org/BehavioralHealthBoard.

The Draft MHSA 2025-2026 Annual Update is available for review here (PDF).
