Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan by protecting vulnerable populations.
Area of Focus: Safe & Healthy Communities
Strategic Plan Category: 1001 -Support and sustain partnerships between public safety and partner agencies to enhance public safety in our communities
DISCUSSION:
Due to unanticipated communications and professional services expenditures, an increase in software subscription costs, and unforeseen staff overtime hours that were not projected during the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 budget process, a supplemental budget for the Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health Branch (DHHS - PH), Health Education Program is required. The Health Education budget acts as a pass-through budget for all programs operating out of the Community Wellness Center at 908 7th Street, resulting in quarterly transfers of charges such as rent and utilities, that are shared between these programs. Due to this function, some of the funds requested in this supplemental are anticipated to be returned by fiscal year-end.
The Health Education budget is funded by Vehicle License Fees and Sales Tax Realignment. The Healthy Communities division provides health education, a basic service of local health departments in California, mandated under Title 17 of the California Administrative Code. The Healthy Communities division provides the community with information and tools to prevent HIV and Hepatitis C, offers nutrition education classes to families, teaches health topics in schools, and offers training for service providers and leaders in our community so that they can be better equipped to support their clients and neighbors. Additionally, the Healthy Communities division works with various community groups like the Safe Routes to Schools Task Force, Tobacco Education Network, Allies for Substance Abuse Prevention, Domestic Violence Coordinating Council’s Prevention Committee and the Latino Community Providers’ Network.
