BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
providers throughout the County.
On October 16, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved acceptance of Grant Award #29-393-17 with the California
Department of Public Health, TB Control Branch, for the TB Control Program, for the period from July 1, 2012
through June 30, 2013.
Approval of Grant Award Amendment #29-393-18 will allow the Department to receive additional funds for the
food, shelter, incentives and enablers (FSIE) for TB patients, including 150 SaveMart and 200 Target Gift Cards with
a value of $20 each card, taxi vouchers and rent subsidies, through June 30, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive additional funds for FSIE which could result in a decrease
in the number of TB patients who receive appropriate treatment and therefore increasing the spread of TB.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
