RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Grant Agreement #28–828-1 (State #15-10155) from the California Department of Public Health, to pay County an amount not to exceed $4,320,508, for the Family Maternal and Child Health, Nurse Family Partnership project through the California Home Visiting Program, for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this Grant Award will result in an amount not to exceed $4,320,508 from the California Department of Public Health to fund the Nurse Family Partnership Project. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Public Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (CDPH/MCAH) Division, California Home Visiting Program has awarded recipients of Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting funding to implement either Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) or Healthy Families American (HFA) within at-risk communities in California. The Nurse-Family Partnership Project represents a highly refined approach to the long-established service strategy of home visiting. Starting at or before the 28th week of pregnancy, clients are visited at home, one-on-one with a trained nurse, visits continue throughout the pregnancy and the first two years of the child’s life. The goal of the County’s Public Health, Family and Maternal Child Health Program will be to empower first time mothers living in poverty to successfully change their lives and the loves of their children through evidence-based nurse home visiting, through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive the funding necessary to support the goals of the Nurse-Family Partnership Project, home visiting program.
