Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) recommending the Board accept the additional funding offered by First 5 El Dorado Children and Families Commission (First 5) that supports HHSA’s and First 5’s strategic plan goals of community hubs in various areas of the County for outreach to County families and with a focus on families with children ages 0 - 5.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
HHSA has been a partner to First 5 since FY 2004-2005 for the consistent focus of assisting families in the County with access to health insurance and health services for children ages 0-5 years. In FY 2009-10 a second grant agreement was provided to assist families with access to oral health care for children ages 0-5 years.
In Fiscal Year 2016-2017, First 5 and HHSA partnered with other community stakeholders to create “Community Hubs.” The purpose of a “Community Hub” is to provide a central location in each district of the County for the various stakeholders to provide their specific outreach specialists in that location. Families with children ages 0 - 5 can go to the central location in their district for help with access to health insurance and health services, literacy activities, and parenting support.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose to not accept the additional funding and the extension of the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2021. By not accepting the funding or the term extension, HHSA will not be able to provide outreach for health insurance, health services, and oral health care to County families who have children ages 0 - 5 at the Community Hubs.
OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel and Risk Management
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board approve this item.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
