RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County Grant Award #78-001-1, Round 2, with the State of California Health and Human Services Agency, California Department of Public Health (CDPH), to pay the County an amount up to $240,085, for the California Home Visiting Project American Rescue Plan (CHVP ARP) through September 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this award will result in up to $240,085 in funding from the California Department of Public Health, California Home Visiting Program Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting American Recovery Plan. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Public Health Division’s Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) Program works by having specially trained nurses regularly visit young first-time moms-to-be, starting early in the pregnancy and continuing through the child’s second birthday. Through individualized goal planning, life coaching, and education, NFP nurses support mothers to successfully transform their lives and that of future generations.

As designated by the CHVP ARP, funds can be used toward providing prepaid grocery cards, in the amount of $200 each, to the Department's Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting NFP clients for the purpose of meeting the emergency needs of the families. The department expects to purchase up to 788 gift cards from Walmart. Each client will receive 1 card upon completion of the following program family assessment timepoint periods: 1) 5-7th pregnancy encounter, 2) 36th week gestational age encounter, 3) infant birth encounter, 4) infant 6 month encounter, 5) toddler 3rd visit encounter, 6) toddler 18 month encounter, and 7) toddler 24 month encounter.

On July 26, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #78-001 with CDPH, to pay the County an amount up to $157,665, for the CHVP ARP, effective upon approval of the agreement through September 30, 2023.

Approval of Grant Award #78-001-1 will allow the County to receive additional funding and continue services through September 30, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant is not approved, the County will not receive funds to continue to provide CHVP ARP services to meet the emergency needs of families.
