TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: t Mark Finucane, Health Services Director Contra
10 Costa
DATE: June 16, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Approve Agreement #28-568 with the County of Alameda
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Wendel Brunner, M.D. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Agreement
#28-568 with the County of Alameda, in the amount of $15, 000, for the
period from January 1, 1995 through June 30, 1995, for planning and
development of a Women's Early Intervention Center for HIV-positive
women.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Agreement will result in $15, 000 from the County of
Alameda (Officer of AIDS) for planning and development of a Women's
Early Intervention Center. No County funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Very little is known about HIV-positive women in the East Bay, except
that their numbers are increasing and that they experience barriers to
services which are different from those experienced by most men.
There are few services which specifically seek to enhance access to
care for women and, aside from the hard epidemiological numbers, no
other data to support the planning of services specific to women.
The State Office of AIDS has awarded Contra Costa and Alameda Counties
a three-year grant for the development and implementation of a Women's
Early Intervention Center (WEIC) to serve women in both counties. An
additional, planning grant has been awarded to enable the two counties
to plan and develop this pilot project prior to commencement of
service delivery.
As the site for the Center will be in Alameda County, and this project
will cross health jurisdictions, several assessment and joint-county
planning activities must be undertaken to ensure that women from
Contra Costa have access to the services which will be offered by the
WEIC.
Three sealed and certified copies of this Board Order should be
returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
