| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In a Yolo County Board of Supervisors’ meeting on February 25, 2020, the Board approved Agreement No. 20-24 (“Agreement”) with the CA Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) for funding in the amount of $1,067,700. The funding associated with this Agreement was expected to allow HHSA to maintain and grow the Medi-Cal caseload from target populations in Yolo County, provide enhanced services to Yolo County Medi-Cal recipients, cover administrative overhead costs, and supplement the hiring and subcontracting of 1-2 full-time Yolo County Navigator staff persons.
In May 2020, Yolo County HHSA received Bulletin 2020-004 from DHCS dated May 18, 2020. This Bulletin directed all Health Navigator Project (“Project”) participants to suspend or not engage in any new activities under the Agreement, effective May 31, 2020, as a result of an unprecedented shortfall in its FY2020-21 budget due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, HHSA halted activities associated with this funding.
Subsequently, HHSA received a further notice indicating that the Project could resume with revisions to the work plan and budget. HHSA accordingly submitted a budget and work plan to DHCS, revised for a funding level of $526,400. In October 2020, DHCS provided the attached Amendment reflecting those revisions.
Staff requests approval of this Amendment to continue this Project at the revised level of funding. |
