Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve renewal of IGA# HP061205-003, Health Start Services, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Cochise County Health Department, in the amount of $182,822, for the current period of 10/1/10 - 6/30/11, with one year extensions available for up to five years.
Background:
The Health Department Adolescent Maternal Child Health (AMCH) Program has received the Health Start grant for over 15 years and promotes healthy families and pregnancies among county residents. The grant serves women with a risk factor for pregnancy and post partum issues. The purpose is to reduce those risks through a community health worker program where medically trained community members act as a guide and mentor starting with the pregnancy and ending after the first two years of the child’s life.
2009 Advanced Vital Statistics - Cochise County has the second highest rate of low birth weight infants in Arizona. As such, both mothers and children are at higher risk for preventable negative health outcomes. In addition, publicly-funded social services from other sources have dramatically decreased due to state funding cuts, thus increasing this need for the program.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving this grant will cause the cessation of this value-added program to at-risk pregnant women and parenting families in Cochise County. The home visiting programs provided by Cochise County served over 792 families with close to 3,000 visits during fiscal year July '09-June'10 in three districts of the county.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Sources (if known):
This is a grant-funded, fixed price program from the Arizona Department of Health Services in the amount of $182,822. Based on a twelve-month July-June funding cycle, the aggregate grant amount is $221,916 in FY 10/11.
The net county subsidy is calculated as follows (projected salaries/EREs are for the twelve-month funding cycle and reflect current staffing levels):
Projected Salaries/ERE's: $191,722, A-87 Overhead at 34.55%: $66,240, Collected OH at 34.55% (Jul. - Sept.): $16,733, Collected OH at 12% (Oct. - Jun.): $18,425, Net County Subsidy: $31,082.
The collected overhead was reduced effective October, 2010 because we did not anticipate that our funding request of $258,000 would be reduced by the ADHS to $182,822 due to funding cuts at the state level. Health Start is based on #2 Lottery funding and ADHS general line item funds.
