| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Women, Infants and Children Division 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 Women, Infants and Children (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. With the prior allocation period ending soon, CDPH is accepting applications for a new round of funding, and the County expects to receive an allocation in the amount of $3,976,563 for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022.
To ensure the continuation of WIC program services to Yolo County families, staff hereby recommends the Board authorize the County to submit an application to CDPH to receive a new WIC program funding allocation. |
