I'd like to clarify that it's a permanent transfer, not a one‑time transfer for five years. We hope it will begin next year, in the 2023 budget.
We want to create a parallel track of funding, because we're seeing organizations having to apply for short-term grants, often pilot projects, that prevent them from being able to build sustainability, retain staff, recruit staff, and pay them adequately. Rather than seeing community-based mental health as a charity that's offered by small donations here and there, we really want to institutionalize the system. We see it as part of our health care system—which mental health is.
