Agenda Item Text:
Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) CTR067930 Amendment 2 between the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Cochise County Health & Social Services (CCHSS) for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and the Breastfeeding Peer Counselor (BFPC) Program, in the amount of $699,050 for WIC and $63,824 for BFPC, for the period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026.
Background:
CCHSS has offered WIC services for over 30 years to pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women; and infants and children up to the age of 5. The assigned caseload for FFY 26 is 2,980 per month.
The overall goal of the WIC and Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program is to increase food security, reduce hunger by providing income eligible participants nutrition and breastfeeding education, and access to nourishing food.
This is a grant-funded, cost reimbursement program from ADHS in the annual combined amount of $762,874. The IGA supports wages, EREs, and program expenses for 11 FTEs.

The WIC Program has provided valuable nutrition education and food packages to families of Cochise County for over 30 years. We will continue to provide these essential services to income-eligible families.

Program will revert to previous Amendment and not allow for increase of funding.
