The Capital Facilities and Technological Overview and Plan are one of the seven MHSA component areas that will eventually become one, integrated Placer MHSA Plan.
The County plans to use Capital Facilities and Technological Needs Component funds to support mental health service providers and to invest in a billing/electronic health record system in accordance with the MHSA goal of producing long-term impacts with lasting benefits for the Placer County Mental Health System. The expected timeframe for changing over to an electronic system is 10 years, though most of the infrastructure work will be done in the first three years.

Together, these various funding streams and initiatives are part of a coordination effort called the Campaign for Community Wellness. The overall goal of the Campaign for Community Wellness is to transform and support traditional and non-traditional mental health services in Placer County that use innovative, collaborative, culturally competent and consumer-guided approaches.
