Housing Workshop to Emphasize County Sharing, Best Practices
Prop. 1 Implementation and Planning
Collaborating with the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to assist counties with implementing behavioral health transformation – a response to voter-approved Prop. 1 – CalMHSA will host an in-person workshop only for county staff on Sept. 5 in Sacramento. The workshop will focus on housing strategies, innovations and funding.
A key goal of the workshop will be to facilitate a shared learning and problem-solving opportunity for counties to impart their own innovations and lessons learned. To register, visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LGQ83BG%0D.

Leading up to the summit, CalMHSA will have conducted more than a dozen interviews with county staff around the state for a broad view of the current housing environment, counties’ goals and concerns, regional-specific issues and technical assistance needs.
From the summit learnings CalMHSA will identify housing models and develop housing infrastructure mapping that counties can use within their local/regional planning and implementation.
