RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT report on new Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) public information sharing tools.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) believes in the power of data to paint a picture of the community it serves and to tell the story of how the department supports it.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Since 2019, EHSD has publicly posted monthly data dashboards that show how many people the department assists through key programs such as CalFresh, Medi-Cal and more.

In 2022, EHSD and the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) made a dedicated effort to create robust maps and dashboards that depict enrollment in major EHSD programs by Supervisor District, including:

Medi-Cal
CalFresh
CalWORKs
Child Protective Services (CPS)
In-Home Supportive Services
Adult Protective Services (APS)
General Assistance (GA)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action will limit information to the Board of Supervisors about their districts and withhold these exciting new tools from public launch, thus limiting the County’s ability to share a rich picture of its support and engagement with the community it serves.
