RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to accept on behalf of the County, Notice of Grant Award #28-822-1 (#1 TP1AH000096-01-00) from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, in an amount not to exceed a total of $6,250,000 at the rate of $1,250,000 per year of this five (5) year agreement, for the County’s Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Initiative Program, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this grant award will result in a total of $1,250,000 annually, not to exceed a total of $6,250,000 during this five (5) year agreement ending June 30, 2020, for the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Initiative Program. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Health Services is the lead agency for the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Initiative Program for Contra Costa County. This TPP Initiative will build a solid partnership between West Contra Unified School District and Pittsburg Unified School District to provide strategic direction and oversight of the Initiative. These two school districts were selected, based on data that reflects a highest rate for teen births and Sexually Transmitted Diseases in those geographic areas.

The goal of the TPP Initiative Program is to reduce teen birth rates among youths ages 15-19 in middle, junior high, and high school. The funds for this program will provide two evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs in 12 middle, junior high, and high schools in the cities of San Pablo, Richmond, and Pittsburg through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funding to implement the program or provide necessary prevention to Middle School, Junior High, and High School students through the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Initiative Program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase the awareness of teen age pregnancy and to target younger youth with prevention messages.
