FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

West Contra Costa County has been hard hit by the AIDS epidemic with 25% of those living with AIDS residing in the City of Richmond. Unfortunately, a large percentage of those living with HIV/AIDS are of low income having to rely on Basic Health Care (BHC) for their medical care, or forced to pay for their medical care, because they do not qualify for BHC services. The County’s AIDS Program works closely with other staff in Public Health as well as physicians and medical social workers at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Clinics, community-based partners, and private providers throughout the County to reduce the transmission of HIV, improve access to health care, and to enhance quality of life for those with HIV.

On June 7, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved a Grant Award #28-637-22 with the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (Health Resources & Services Administration), to provide outpatient medical services to low-income HIV positive recipients in West Contra Costa County through May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017.

Approval of Grant Award Amendment #28-637-23 will allow the Department to receive additional funds for low-income HIV positive recipients in West Contra Costa County, for the Ryan White, Part C, HIV Early Intervention Services Program, through April 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive additional funds for low-income HIV positive recipients in West Contra Costa County.
