Innovation Component of MHSA (Prop 63)

Overview of an Innovative Project An innovative project is defined, for purposes of the DMH

guidelines, as one that contributes to learning rather than a primary focus on providing service.

By providing the opportunity to “try out” new approaches that can inform current and future practices/approaches in communities, an Innovation contributes to learning in one or more of the following three ways. Introduces new mental health practices/approaches

including prevention and early intervention that have never been done

Make a change to an existing mental health practice/approach, including adaptation for a new setting or community

Introduces a new application to the mental health system of a promising community-driven practice/approach or a practice/approach that has been successful in non-mental health contexts or settings.

Essential Purposes of Innovation

Counties must select one or more of the following purposes for each Innovative Project:

1. Increase access to underserved groups2. Increase the quality of services, including better

outcomes3. Promote interagency collaboration4. Increase access to services

Innovative projects that demonstrate effectiveness cannot continue to be funded by Innovation, they must be moved to

PEI CSS Or other stable source of funds

Funds

FY 2008/2009 plus FY 2009/10 Innovation Estimate is: $11,575,200

We have received 25% of this, or $2,893,800 for planning activities

Planning money can be used for stakeholder meetings, planning staff, plan writing and extends through the end of FY 2009/10
