RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #28-528-64 with the County of Alameda Health Care Services Agency, to increase the total payment to the County by $20,000 from $1,969,611, to a new amount not to exceed $1,989,611 for additional coordination of essential services to Contra Costa County residents with HIV disease and their families, with no change in the original term of March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in an increase of $20,000 from the County of Alameda, as the Grantee of federal funds under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2009, Part A. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has designated the County of Alameda as “Grantee” for the purpose of administering the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006, Part A, funds for coordination of essential services to Contra Costa County residents with HIV disease and their families. Contra Costa County has been receiving these grant funds since 1992.

The goals of the program are to improve access to health care and to enhance health outcomes for people living with HIV. The Health Services Department uses a comprehensive medical case management model to reduce HIV-related health care costs by linking HIV-infected, low-income, and uninsured/underinsured individuals to appropriate health care services. HIV-positive individuals are assisted in accessing health care coverage and entitlements, making medical appointments, and in accessing necessary HIV medications. These individuals are also provided with home health attendant care and other services as appropriate, counseled in medication adherence, and offered referrals for food and nutritional assistance, psychosocial support services and other community resources.

On September 13, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #28-528-63 with the County of Alameda Health Care Services Agency, in an amount not to exceed $1,969,611, to as the fiscal agent for Ryan White CARE Act, Title I and Minority AIDS Initiative funds, for coordination of services to Contra Costa residents with HIV disease and their families, for the period from March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #28–528–64 will provide additional funding to allow the County to continue providing coordination of services to Contra Costa residents with HIV disease and their families through February 28, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment agreement is not approved, the County will not receive additional funds to provide continuous coordination of essential services to Contra Costa County residents with HIV disease and their families.
