| Recommended Action |
| Approve agreement with the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) (State Agreement No. 19-10379) to receive funding in the amount of $850,197 for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022 for the provision of allowable activities and interventions related to nutrition education and obesity prevention (“NEOP”) for low-income individuals under the CalFresh Healthy Living Program (“CHLP”). |

| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Under the CalFresh Health Living Program (CHLP), the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) provides Nutrition Education Obesity Prevention (NEOP) services to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) eligible residents of Yolo County.
SNAP-Ed audience specifically includes SNAP participants and other low-income individuals who are part of a household with annual household income below 185 percent of the federal poverty level and are qualified to receive SNAP benefits or other means-tested Federal Assistance programs. It also includes individuals residing in communities with a significant (50 percent or greater) low-income population.
The focus of this program is health promotion and community change efforts to help the CHLP target audience establish healthy eating habits and a physically active lifestyle for primary prevention of obesity and resulting chronic diseases, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis. The CHLP offers a comprehensive public health approach that enables partners to work together to prevent obesity and serve local low-income families.
In 2016, Yolo County (“the County”) was allocated $1,149,147, for the period October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019. With the previous allocation period ending soon, the County submitted a new application on April 2, 2019 to CDPH to receive $850,197, for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022.
HHSA will be conducting NEOP activities in three main service areas to reach the SNAP eligible population: Food Banks/Food Distribution sites, elementary schools in Woodland and West Sacramento, and in partnership with CommuniCare clinics. Activities include education of adults and children, institutional policies to support access to healthy foods and beverages, and environmental changes in schools to improve availability of healthy foods and produce throughout the school year.
The importance of education around healthy eating habits and physically active lifestyles cannot be emphasized more, considering continuous growth in obesity rate across all age groups of the population. With approval of this agreement, HHSA will receive required funding for uninterrupted promotional activities under the CHLP. |
