RECOMMENDATION
REFER the matter of prenatal services and food stamp issues for the immigrant community in
Contra Costa County as it relates to welfare reform for discussion to the November 17, 1997
Family and Human Services Committee and DIRECT the Social Service Director to prepare a
report on this matter for discussion at said meeting.
BACKGROUND
At a recent Board of Supervisors' meeting, under "Public Comment," several people addressed us
regarding their concerns over the delivery of prenatal services to and food stamp issues for the
immigrant community under the new welfare reform regulations. Since the matter was not
agendized, no action.could be taken. However, it was requested that our Board consider this
serious issue. It is, therefore, appropriate to refer this matter to the FHS Committee for further
review.
