Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Development
Introduction
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 FY23 budget development process.
As the Trust uses a two year budgeting cycle, in August 2020 trustees adopted a FY22/23 budget. FY23 represents the second year in that two year budget cycle, and trustees will consider revisions to the FY23 budget that was adopted.
Update: In August 2021, trustees approved the revised FY23 budget. View it here.
