RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Award Extension #28-994-1 (State Award Number CERI-21-23-08) with the State of California Health and Human Services Agency, California Department of Public Health (CDPH), to extend the termination date from June 30, 2023 to May 31, 2024 with no change in the original amount payable to the County not to exceed $895,271, for the California Equitable Recovery Initiative (CERI) to address COVID-19 health disparities among populations at high-risk and underserved.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no change the original amount awarded to the County of $895,271 from the CDPH. No county match required.

BACKGROUND:

The CERI funds are intended to address COVID-19 and advance health equity through strategies, interventions, and services that consider systemic barriers and potentially discriminatory practices that have put certain groups at higher risk for diseases like COVID-19 for disproportionately impacted racial and ethnic groups, rural populations, those experiencing socioeconomic disparities, and other underserved communities within state and local health jurisdictions.

On May 3, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Award #28-994 with CDPH, to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $895,271, to implement strategies that better position the department to meet COVID-19 response and recovery needs and prioritize and target resources to those most vulnerable to the impacts of the pandemic, for the period from September 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

This Grant Award Extension #28-994-1 will allow the County to continue to address COVID-19 health disparities among populations at high-risk and underserved through May 31, 2024.
