SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Board of State and Community Corrections awarded a three-year $6,000,000 grant to the Monterey County Health Department, Behavioral Health Bureau to provide housing services to Proposition 47 eligible clients. The HRC is not projecting to utilize the total Agreement amount, and the decreased funding will provide funding for alternative Proposition 47 services. This Amendment No. 3 is retroactive due to the delay in approval of the County’s budget change proposal submitted to our grantor the Bureau of State and Community Corrections.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2018-22 Strategic Plan Goals: 3) Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports one of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 7) Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provisions of health care when otherwise unavailable.
