The County's Public Health AIDS Program currently maintains a centralized Emergency Assistance Program
for people with HIV and AIDS in Contra Costa County. It provides limited amounts of support for housing
and utility assistance, food and transportation vouchers, and other small needs that meet allowable service
definitions. Access to the services is provided on referral from contracted case managers throughout the
County, using well-developed processes, protocols and reporting requirements. The goal of the funding is to
meet special needs for which there is no other funding for dental care support, payment of insurance
premiums, and other needs not in the current AIDS Program Budget. Approval of Grant Award #28-775-1
will provide continuous emergency assistance funds to address the needs of HIV infected residents in Contra
Costa.
Three sealed and certified copies of the Board should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
