RECOMMENDATION(S):

Authorize the Purchasing Agent to purchase, on behalf of the Health Services Department, one hundred (100) Safeway supermarket gift cards in an amount of $5 each for a total of $500.00 to use as incentives for participation in the Health Care for the Homeless Focus Groups.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funded by the U.S. Health and Human Services Grant #H80CS00050. No County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Health Clinic Services program received a five (5) year grant to provide health care for the homeless. A 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 grant budget is a line item for the gift card incentives at an annual amount of $500.00.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County may not be able to meet Grant requirements by finding participants for the Health Care for the Homeless Focus Groups.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
