MHSA Housing Program Meeting in L.A. on August 23, 2007
Los Angeles-area developers interested in learning more about the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Housing Program are urged to attend an informational meeting on Thursday, August 23, 2007. This is the first of several informational meetings to be held throughout the state.
Lead staff from the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA), the state Department of Mental Health (DMH), and the L.A. County DMH will cover the goals of the program, the target population, and the application process.
The meeting will be held from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at St. Anne’s, 155 N. Occidental Boulevard, Los Angeles.
The state released guidelines for this new program earlier this month. Funded by Proposition 63 (the Mental Health Services Act), it provides $115 million annually to finance the capital costs and capitalized operating subsidies associated with the acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation of permanent homes with services ("supportive homes") for individuals with mental illness and their families.
