Summary of Request:
Employment and Family Assistance Services of the Health and Human Services Agency provides CalFresh and Medi-Cal programs to low-income families to help them achieve financial stability. Under the proposed Agreement, North Coast Opportunities (NCO) will provide outreach, information, and referral services for the CalFresh and Medi-Cal programs in conjunction with their existing Earned Income Tax Credit promotion program. NCO is the only local community-based agency that provides direct tax preparation assistance to low-income households.
Both parties to the proposed Agreement were heavily involved with fire recovery efforts; because of these efforts, NCO’s contract was delayed until it became clear that NCO would be available to provide outreach services.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
