Title:
Ordinance amending the Administrative Code to establish Mental Health SF, a mental health program
designed to provide access to mental health services, substance use treatment, and psychiatric
medications to all adult residents of San Francisco with mental illness and/or substance use disorders
who are homeless, uninsured, or enrolled in Medi-Cal or Healthy San Francisco; to establish an Office
of Private Health Insurance Accountability to advocate on behalf of privately insured individuals not
receiving timely and appropriate mental health care under their private health insurance; to provide
that Mental Health SF shall not become operative until either the City’s budget has exceeded the prior
year’s budget by 13%, or the voters have approved a tax that will sufficiently finance the program, or
the Board of Supervisors has approved the appropriation of general funds to finance the program; and
to establish the Mental Health SF Implementation Working Group to advise the Mental Health Board,
the Department of Public Health, the Health Commission, the San Francisco Health Authority, and the
Board of Supervisors on the design and implementation of Mental Health SF.
