The Commission is interested in concepts that introduce statewide system change opportunities to meet the goals of the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA), which have been identified to promote the following:
  • Target individuals with the greatest need
  • Reduce disparities
  • Develop housing for people with behavioral health conditions
  • Integrate substance use disorder and mental health
  • Develop workforce strategies
  • Support for children and youth
  • Measure impact
    In response to public feedback and in alignment with the Commission’s Decision Making approach as outlined in its Strategic Plan, The Commission is seeking input on the concept of innovation and opportunities for Commission leadership through a survey to community partners, non-profit organizations, and public/private organizations who can identify a range of potential innovation projects that may inform the Commission on how to best allocate funding from the IPF.
    IMPORTANT NOTICE: Participation in this survey does not constitute a solicitation for proposals that will lead to future funding. We are soliciting input and engaging our community solely for informational purposes, to collect concepts and ideas on how to better serve our communities within California.
