Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
September 22, 2020, Item 4n), Approval of Submission of Request for Supplemental Information to the California Department of Public Health, regarding funds available for the California Home Visiting Program, and authorization to execute the grant Agreement if awarded.
Summary of Request:
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) received $37.5 million in State General Funds (SGF) to expand the California Home Visiting Program (CHVP) for 2022-23 and ongoing, which includes $33.7 million for Local Assistance. This funding is for increasing the number of families participating in the three evidence-based home visiting (EBHV) models supported by CDPH/CHVP: Healthy Families America (HFA), Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) and Parents as Teachers (PAT). Local Health Jurisdictions (LHJs) may use Year One funding for expansion, planning and/or special support activities.
On September 22, 2020, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) authorized execution of a grant Agreement with CDPH for up to $500,000 in CHVP funds. The grant Agreement was executed, and funds enabled the Mendocino County Department of Public Health (PH) to augment the current service model to incorporate virtual visits and expand access to services during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
On December 16, 2022, CDPH released the Fiscal Year 22-23 Agreement Funding Application (AFA) notification for Year One CHVP SGF Expansion (EXP). On December 30, 2022, PH returned the AFA packages to CDPH. On January 30, 2023, the AFA packages were reviewed and approved by CDPH with instruction to LHJs to bill for services retroactively, starting on July 1, 2022. The proposed grant Agreement includes this newest CHVP SGF EXP funding, which will enable PH to continue the current Home Visiting Program, providing innovative outreach and home visiting services to eligible participants.
Due to time constraints, the grant materials were submitted to CDPH prior to BOS approval. CDPH then determined a start date of July 1, 2022, and PH is now seeking BOS ratification of the grant application, and execution of the retroactive grant Agreement.
