SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County Health Department continues to provide services to individuals and communities in Monterey County affected by HIV. Access Support Network (ASN) serves the San Luis Obispo County and Monterey County communities, assisting individuals living with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. ASN offers testing and prevention education opportunities for various groups throughout the community. ASN offers needed services and connections to guard against homelessness and against lapses of medication and healthcare coverage. ASN has been providing HIV- and HCV-related services in Monterey County since July 1, 2015 (funded through private sources, direct California Department of Public Health (CDPH) grants, and CDPH grants administered by the Health Department).
In January 2017, CDPH originally awarded the Health Department supplemental Ryan White Part B funding for a one-year period to augment existing HIV non-medical case management services. Monterey County Health Department entered into an Agreement with ASN for additional non-medical case management services in January 2017 for an amount not to exceed $474,685 and a term of January 11, 2017, to September 30, 2017.
In October 2017, CDPH awarded the Health Department an additional year of supplemental funding. Amendment No. 2 extended the contract period to September 15, 2018, and added funding in the amount of $158,500, for a total not to exceed $633,185. CDPH recently awarded the Health Department a third year of supplemental funding. Amendment No. 3 will have a retroactive start date of September 16, 2018 and extend the contact period to September 15, 2019, and add $110,893, for a total not to exceed $744,078. The start date of the Agreement is retroactive to September 16, 2018 due to recent award of third year of supplemental funding form CDPH.
This work supports the MCHD 2018-2022 Strategic Plan Goal: 1. Empower the community to improve health; Goal 2. Enhance public health and safety through prevention; and Goal 3. Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services.
