NOTICE OF INITIATION OF 30-DAY PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT PERIOD
RE: BHSA INTEGRATED PLAN
Dear Community Members and Stakeholders,
San Diego County is holding a 30-day public review and comment period for the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Integrated Plan (IP) for Fiscal Years 2026-2029. The BHSA three-year Integrated Plan outlines the intended use of funds and a budget for specialty behavioral health programs, as well as demographic descriptions, community needs, and statewide goals.
The review period begins March 17, 2026, and ends April 15, 2026. Final public comments will be heard at the Behavioral Health Advisory Board (BHAB) meeting on May 7, 2026. The BHSA IP is planned to go before the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors on May 19, 2026, for their review and approval, as required by the State.
Behavioral Health Services will implement the new BHSA Integrated Plan on July 1, 2026. BHSA requires new programming, adjustments to existing services, expanded reporting and data requirements, and enhanced community engagement. These changes will affect our local behavioral health network and include more comprehensive financial reporting across all behavioral health funding sources.
The BHSA Integrated Plan can be found on the Engage San Diego County webpage. Public comments can be submitted directly on Engage San Diego County or by using the BHSA comment/question voice message line or e-mail address below.
Public hearing details will be posted on the BHAB webpage prior to May 7.
