| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In June 2020, Heluna Health released an application to Local Health Jurisdictions, including Yolo County, for Emerging Issues Project flow-through funding originating with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act of 2020 responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. This program is referred to as “ELC CARES.” The intention of this funding is to rapidly establish and monitor key activities related to COVID-19 in the areas of epidemiology, laboratory, and informatics. Monitoring the indicators associated with these activities is intended to assist State, local, and territorial governments in making data-driven policy decisions regarding testing, mitigation, and prevention efforts.
In July 2020, Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (“HHSA”) submitted an application to Heluna Health for this funding. This application was approved, and HHSA received Work Order Agreement No. 0187.6180 (“Agreement”) for funding in the amount of $234,761 for the period of May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2022. HHSA anticipates that this funding will be applied to purchasing COVID-19 testing supplies as part of its pandemic response in the community. |
