Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Division administers funds provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service for the operation of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for county WIC Programs. Service population eligibility for the WIC Program is based upon federal regulations such as participant category (pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infant or child under five years of age), a household income at or below 185 percent of federal poverty guidelines, and nutritional risk. The overall goal of the WIC Program is to improve the health status of eligible participants by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, breastfeeding support, and referrals to health care and other social services.
The Board has previously approved HHSA to accept funding for the WIC program, with the most recent agreement being approved September 10, 2019 for the period of October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022 in the amount of $3,976,563, with three subsequent amendments being approved that have increased the total amount of funding for the term of the agreement to $4,136,902.
To ensure the continuation of WIC program services to Yolo County families, staff hereby recommends the Board to authorize the County to submit an application to CDPH to receive a new WIC program funding allocation.
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
Not applicable to state revenue agreements.
