RECOMMENDATION(S):

Authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to purchase food for Program Governance Meetings and Safeway supermarket gift cards totaling $4,190, to use for incentives for the Health Care for the Homeless Program for the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funded 100% by the Human Resources and Services Administration Grant #H80CS00050 funds. No County funds required.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Health Care for the Homeless Project would not be fulfilling the goals outlined in the HRSA Grant.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Care for the Homeless Program received a grant from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to provide health care for the homeless population in Contra Costa County. A requirement of the grant is to establish and maintain Program Governance through a Co-Applicant Governing Board for Health Care for the Homeless program evaluation and CEO/Program Director evaluation. Additionally, another component of the grant is to conduct monthly focus groups with participants in the program and to offer incentives to those who participate. Included in the approved grant budget is a line item for Incentives/Food at an annual amount of $4,190. The department anticipates purchasing up to 200 $5 Safeway gifts cards as incentives and providing food at the Program Governance meetings.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
