Redding's Sunrise Mountain Wellness Center Closes June 30 — a Third Prop 1 / BHSA Peer-Support Closure in the North State

Sunrise Mountain Wellness Center in Redding — a Shasta County HHSA-funded behavioral-health peer-support center operated by Kings View — will close June 30, 2026 as a casualty of the Proposition 1 (2024) realignment of Mental Health Services Act funds into the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA), whose revised categories no longer fund wellness centers. It joins the already-tracked Lodi Wellness Center and the three Lake County Prop 1 peer centers (including the tribal-specific Circle of Native Minds) as the latest in a North State / North Coast cluster of culturally-rooted peer-support closures. The program manager's framing — 'we get well in community; we get well in relationships' — captures what's lost: low-cost, recovery-oriented BH infrastructure that kept members stable between clinical visits. Displaced clients in the thin Redding-area safety net redirect toward Open Door Community Health Centers and other rural providers already absorbing demand ahead of the July 1 UIS-PPS cut.
