FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $2,532,688 of funding from the California Department of Public Health. No County funds are required.

On July 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #28-849-4 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #28-849-5 and #28-849-6) with the California Department of Public Health, for County to provide residents of Contra Costa County access to medical and support care services, including outreach and treatment under the HIV Care Program and Minority AIDS Initiative project, for the period from April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2019.
