Understanding how mental health millages work matters.
In both Jackson and Hillsdale Counties, these locally approved funds were designed to expand access to care, especially for individuals who may not have adequate coverage.
Millage dollars work alongside insurance, Medicaid, and other funding sources to help ensure no one falls through the cracks.
We’ve put together a clear, easy-to-follow overview of how these funds are used, who they support, and how access to services works.
