FY27 Budget Development

The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority’s overall purpose is to help beneficiaries thrive in their communities and avoid long-term institutionalization. One of the duties of the Trust is to develop a budget for Trust spending and recommendations for how the state will fund a comprehensive, integrated mental health program.

This page contains materials intended to inform Trust staff, trustees, and stakeholders in the FY27 budget development process.

As the Trust uses a two-year budgeting cycle, in August 2024 trustees adopted a FY26/27 budget.  As FY27 represents the second year in that two-year budget cycle, trustees will consider revisions to the "placeholder" FY27 budget that was adopted in 2024. It is anticipated that trustees will finalize, approve, and transmit a FY27 Trust budget to the Governor and Legislature in September 2025 by the deadline defined in Alaska Statute.
