System‐Wide Findings
y (Per MHSOAC Financial Report, FY 2008 – 2009)The
Mental Health Services Act is increasingglyy
shouldering a larger share of the cost of mental
health services in the public mental health
system, as funding from the State (General Fund
and Realignment) shrinks.

Phase II, Deliverable 1A
Cross‐Component Findings
y (As of State Fiscal Year 2008 – 2009) Breakout of
the Local MHSA Dollar at the Compponent Level:

through Community Services and Supports
comprises 98 cents out of every Mental Health

Phase II, Deliverable 1A
Cross‐Component Findings
y Contextual Factors Related to Component
Exppenditures:
y Population (size of population in county/municipality)
is strongly related to CSS, PEI, WET and TN
expenditures, with expenditures increasing as county
population increases.
y Allocation formula accounts for population
yy SSttaatteewwiiddee TTrreennddss iimmppaaccttiinngg NNeeeedd ffoorr MMeennttaall HHeeaalltthh
Services:
y The rate of expenditures for CSS and WET increased as
the unemployment and the foreclosure increased.

Phase II, Deliverable 1A
Cross‐Component Findings
y Contextual Factors Related to Component
EExxppeennddiittuurreess::
y CSS, PEI, and WET:
y The DMH policy to weight funding to provide a
baseline level for the smallest counties resulted
in a trend toward higher per‐capita

y As of FY 2008 – 2009, CSS administration
expenditures costs were at 12%

cap of 15% on indirect administrative costs
y The percent expended on CSS administration is
higher in earlier fiscal years due to extensive start‐up
requirements, but it declined each year

y Prevention and Early Intervention is rolling out across
tthhe SSttatte:
y As of FY 2008 – 2009, nearly a quarter of

Findings – Technological Needs/Capital
Facilities and Innovation
y Activities Funded:
y Most technology funds were expended on projects
(rather than on administration), whereas most capital
facilities funds were expended on administration or
projects, depending upon the size of the county and
implementation needs.
y IIntterprett wiitthh cauttiion bbecause ffew counttiies were
expending funds in these areas
21
Phase II, Deliverable 1A
Findings – Technological Needs/Capital
Facilities and Innovation
y Number of Projects:
y Among counties and municipalities who launched
CF/TN efforts, they tended to focus their efforts on a
single project (e.g., renovation) rather than spreading
their resources across multiple projects.
y Interpret with caution because few counties were
expenddiing ffundds iin tthhese areas

Implications for the Statewide Evaluation
y Access to individual level (client) data will greatly
strengthen the Follow Up Report, in terms of the ability to
tie cost data to client impact. This data is expected to be
available for analysis in the Follow Up Report (due June
30, 2012).
y Expenditures for the same programs are documented

coordinate with the MHSOAC in order to develop
recommendations to improve clarity in the General
System Development category in order to more clearly
track expenditures back to funded strategies.

What will we get now that we have access to
client‐level data?

improve undderstandding off hhow expendditures are rellatedd to
MHSA outcomes, and contextual factors that influence
variation in expenditures and outcomes
