The goal of the BHCP is to increase Contra Costa’s Health Services’ (CCHS) capacity to reduce health disparities associated with qualities of the built environment in the cities of Richmond and Concord in Contra Costa County, including Richmond and San Pablo in West County, the Monument Corridor in Central County, Pittsburg, and Antioch and Bay Point in East County. In these areas there are high concentrations of African American, Latino, and low-income residents, who are more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, and stroke and to suffer from injuries, diabetes, obesity and asthma, compared to other Contra Costa County residents. On April 7, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-802 with California Endowment for the Building Healthy Communities Project (BHCP) for the period from September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2010 including agreeing to indemnify and hold the grantor harmless from any claims arising out of County’s performance of this agreement. Approval of Grant Agreement Amendment #28-802-1 will allow the County to receive additional funds for continuation of the Building Healthy Communities Project (BHCP) through March 31, 2011. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this contract is not approved, County will not receive additional funds for continuation of the Building Healthy Communities Project (BHCP).
