Navigating Proposition 1: How to Access $6.38B in Behavioral Health Infrastructure Funding.

Proposition 1 has unlocked approximately $6.38 billion for behavioral health infrastructure in California, creating historic opportunities for providers ready to build and modernize facilities and services. The Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) and related funding streams are driving capital projects, housing-linked care, and expansion of treatment capacity across the state.

BHCIP readiness depends on clear governance, strong applications, and operational readiness—including licensing, quality standards, and workforce plans. Organizations that align their strategy with program requirements and demonstrate readiness are best positioned to secure and deploy these funds effectively.

This guide walks through key aspects of Proposition 1 and BHCIP: who can apply, what readiness looks like, and how to position your organization to access and use $6.38B in behavioral health infrastructure funding.
