MACMHB Advocacy Plan If not us, Who? If not now, When? Now more than ever before, voices need to be raised in support of services to persons with mental health and substance use disorders. Cuts in FY09 and FY10, coupled with those currently proposed by the Michigan Senate for FY11, will eliminate $110M of general fund support, more than 30% of the non Medicaid community mental health budget and 12% of the substance use disorder budget. Based on the cuts to date, 29 CMH boards across the state are now limiting services or creating waiting lists for persons without Medicaid. If the Senate FY11 cuts are approved as proposed, the entire system of CMHs will begin shutting down its system of care and support for persons and families without Medicaid. Please join us in this advocacy effort. For more information, contact Alan Bolter at the Board Association offices at abolter@macmhb.org.
