RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #28-916-1 (Grantor #GA20APS007) with the Sierra Health Foundation, to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $528,558, for the Public Health Division and Contra Costa Health Plan to provide asthma home visiting services in Contra Costa County, for the period from August 1, 2020 through May 15, 2023.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement could result in an amount not to exceed $528,558 in funding from the Sierra Health Foundation. (No County match is required)











BACKGROUND:

The 2019 – 2020 California State budget allocated $15 million dollars to support asthma prevention and environmental remediation services to be administered by the California Department of Health Care Services. The California Department of Health Care Services contracted with the Sierra Health Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation, to administer distribution of the funds. The one-time funding will support local health departments, medical providers and community-based organizations to offer asthma home visiting services, including education and environmental trigger mitigation. Many potential recipients of this funding are children with severe asthma. This program can potentially reduce the frequency and severity of asthma exacerbation, prevent Emergency Room visits and hospitalizations, and reduce the number of days missed of school due to asthma exacerbation.   
  
On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of Grant Application #28-916 which allowed the Health Service Department to apply for funds from Sierra Health Foundation.   
  
Approval of Grant Agreement #28-916-1 will allow the County to receive the funds awarded for provision of asthma home visiting services to Medi-Cal recipients with severe asthma conditions in Contra Costa County through May 15, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive State funding to support asthma home visiting services to Medi-Cal recipients with severe asthma conditions in Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This agreement supports the following community outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School and (2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood.
