Summary of Request

FoPH funds, originally authorized in the 2022 Budget Act (Chapter 29, Statutes of 2022), provided $200,400,000 annually to LHJs to support local public health workforce and infrastructure, referred to as Future of Public Health (FoPH) funding.

 

California Department of Public Health is allocating $715,080 each Fiscal Year of these FoPH funds to the County of Mendocino.

 

To accept the FoPH funding allocation, the Mendocino County Department of Public Health (PH) must execute and return the proposed binding Allocation Letter. The Allocation Letter outlines funding details and requirements, submission requirements, and reimbursement and invoicing details.

 

The proposed Allocation Letter was received in July 2026, with a period start date of July 1, 2026, through June 30,2027. As a result, this Allocation Letter is before the Board of Supervisors retroactively, with FoPH funds allocated for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, to be available for encumbrance or expenditure until June 30,2027.
