Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Public Health Funds (1175-433002)
DISCUSSION:
A1AA of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties is one of thirty-three similar agencies in California and serves both older adults and individuals with disabilities. Both A1AA and DHHS- Public Health receive CalFresh Healthy Living (CFHL) funding from the state. A1AA is requesting to subcontract with DHHS-Public Health for their federal fiscal year (FFY) 2023-2026 CFHL work plan for the period of October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2026. A1AA is newly funded in the CFHL program and does not have the capacity or expertise to implement the work plan in Humboldt County for the upcoming grant cycle (FFY 23-26).
DHHS- Public Health has been awarded funding by the CFHL program for many years and has both program expertise and experience implementing CFHL work plans. A1AA’s work plan focuses on increasing active transportation (walking, biking, rolling) around low-income senior housing facilities. It also includes components of education related to physical activity and nutrition accompanied by policies, systems, and environmental changes. DHHS- Public Health has the expertise and capacity to achieve the goals and objectives outlined in A1AA’s work plan due to experience partnering with local schools and community organizations to offer walk and bike to-school days, bicycle rodeos, and pedestrian and bicycle safety presentations. Improving community health is a countywide effort with collaborative planning and collective action to generate solutions to complex community problems.
