| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The WIC Division of CDPH administers funds provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service for the operation of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for WIC Program. Service population eligibility for the WIC Program is based upon federal regulations such as participant category (pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infant or child under five [5] years of age), a household income at or below 185 percent of federal poverty guidelines, and nutritional risk. The overall goal of the WIC Program is to improve the health status of eligible participants by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, breastfeeding support and referrals to health care and other social services.
Previously, Yolo County (“the County”) was allocated funding under the WIC program in the amount of $5,541,379 for the period October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2019. This new Agreement provides an allocation of $3,976,563 to the County, for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022. Approval of this Agreement will allow the County through the Health and Human Services Agency to receive this funding and provide direct services at the local level to operate the WIC Program. This will be done in compliance with all fiscal, administrative and operational requirements as outlined in Federal and State statutes, regulations, policies and procedures from the CDPH, WIC Division.
To ensure the continuation of WIC Program services to Yolo County families, staff hereby recommends the Board approve the agreement with CDPH to receive this funding allocation. |
