Carryover Overview
$14.8M (57%) of FY 21/22 carryover (25M) will be in the Innovation (INN)
component:

• INN projects take approximately 12-18 months to develop and launch.

• INN projects are pilot projects where an idea is to be tested for a maximum of 5
  years.

• 2-step approval process (County and State).

• Multiple INN ideas are currently being vetted and developed; COVID-19 initially
  delayed this process.

                                                                                 16
Carryover Overview continued…
Currently expenditures are higher than the annual MHSA revenue from the state.

Carryover is needed to cover the gap between expenditures and revenue.
 • The annual carryover amount continues to decrease. ACBH is working to align
   the budget with the revenue from the state.

•Reasons for carryover:
   • Time it takes to implement an INN project;
   • Contractors underspending;
   • Project delays;
   • Staff vacancies, and
   • Historical revenue fluctuations.

                                                                                 17
