RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the attached supplemental budget in the amount of $59,000 for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) - Public Health Fund (1175), Tuberculosis Budget Unit (419001) (4/5 Vote Required).
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Public Health Funds (1175); Tuberculosis (419001)
DISCUSSION:
In order to maintain control of Tuberculosis (TB), The California Depart of Public Health (CDPH) Tuberculosis Control Branch provides financial assistance funds to assist local TB Programs. Based on active TB cases in Humboldt County, the Humboldt County Public Health TB program is able to request additional funding. These funds will be used to help reduce the spread of TB in Humboldt County by providing client support to active TB cases in Humboldt County.
On October 20, 2023, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) awarded DHHS - Public Health an allotment of $13,350. This allocation is for the purpose of providing additional Food, Shelter, Incentives and Enablers (FSIE) related to TB prevention and control activities. Public Health is applying for additional state funding to provide further assistance for the remainder of fiscal year 2023-2024. A supplemental budget in the amount of $59,000 is needed to provide client support to the active TB cases in Humboldt County. This adjustment will not have an impact on the county general fund. Client support is projected to be needed through the remainder of fiscal year 23-24 and part of fiscal year 24-25.
