FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this application will result in an amount not to exceed $520,000 over a three-year period from CDPH. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The goal of AFLP is to support expectant and parenting youth, age 21 and under, using the evidence-informed Positive Youth Development (PYD) model to increase access to needed services, increase social and emotional support and build resiliency, empower youth to cultivate personal autonomy to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, and strengthen youth knowledge and self-efficacy for education and career attainment.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Health Services Departments’ Family, Maternal and Child Health (FMCH Program will recruit, enroll and retain youth in the program as well as create networks to support expectant and parenting youth. The program will ensure that it is developed in a culturally, linguistically, affirming and youth-centered manner; adapting as needed. There will also be a quality assurance plan to ensure the program is implemented with fidelity to the PYD model. Data will be collected and entered as required by CDPH.

Approval of Application #78-030 will allow county to apply for funds for the AFLP through June 30, 2026.
