Subject:Approve Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-203-89 with California Department of Public Health
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Department of Health Services. WIC is a nutrition education, counseling and food
supplement program for low-income, pregnant, postpartum and breast-feeding women,
infants and children at nutritional risk. This program serves approximately 22,200 clients.
On January 20, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-203-87
(as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-203-88) with the California Department of
Public Health, for the Supplemental Food Program, for the period from October 1, 2008
through September 30, 2011.
Approval of Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-203-89 will reflect an increase in the
funding resulting from a change in the maximum case load, a change in available program
funding to add American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, and make
technical adjustments to the budget, allowing the County to continue nutrition assessments
and education, community referrals, and food checks to eligible residents of Contra Costa
County, through September 30, 2011.
