I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of Funding Application #28-553 to the San Francisco

Francisco Foundation for the Policy Initiative to Reduce Hunger
Project. No County funds are required.
III. REASONS .FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The 1993 report Hunger in the Midst of Affluence documented the
increased rate of poverty in Contra Costa County and the greater
reliance on emergency food and nutrition programs. The Policy
Initiative to Reduce Hunger Project would enable the Department's
Prevention Program staff, in conjunction with the Contra Costa County
Hunger Task Force, to coordinate policy efforts with the County,
municipalities and school districts to increase efforts to
institutionalize available federal food programs. In addition, the
Department and Task Force would work together to influence federal and
state policies and programs which provide access to nutritious food
and support food programs for low income individuals.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the application has been
forwarded to the San Francisco Foundation, but subject to Board
approval. Three sealed copies of the Board Order authorizing
submission of the application should be returned to the Contracts and
Grants Unit.
