The purpose of this Article XIV is to provide for the governance and administration of the dedicated sales and use tax increase approved by the voters on November 6, 2018, and as provided in sections 53-56 and 53-106 of this Code (hereinafter referred to as the "Caring for Denver tax"), for the purpose of funding the Caring for Denver Fund in order to increase mental health and substance use disorder prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction services available in Denver. The people hereby determine that the expenditure of the Caring for Denver tax and the establishment of the Caring for Denver Fund serve important public and municipal purposes, and are matters of local concern for which the citizens of Denver enjoy the full right of self-government. The Caring for Denver Fund shall supplement, rather than supplant the total of city, county, state and federal annual funding for mental health and substance use disorder services collected and administered by the City and County of Denver as of June 30, 2018.
