Reason for Recommended Action/Background
On or about September 15, 2020, the State of California, Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (“OSHPD”) and the County of Fresno entered into a Regional Partnership Agreement to accept grant funds in the amount of $6,615,967.75, on behalf of the Central Regional Partnership, for the Workforce Education and Training (“WET”) program. To receive the grant funds, each Regional Partnership provided a 33% match in the amount of $2,183,269.36. The portion of the grant allocated to Yolo County was $82,755.91 as described in the Grant Match table below.
Central Region WET Regional Partnership Yolo County Grant Match:
| Initial County Share of OSPHD Regional Grant Award | $250,775.50 |
| Initial County Match Funds Collected under this Agreement | $82,755.91 |
| Additional County Share of OSPHD Regional Grant Award | $17,074.86 |
| Additional County Match Funds Collected under this Agreement | $6,584.89 |
| Total County Grant Funds | $357,191.16 |
On or about February 22, 2022, the County entered into an Agreement with CalMHSA to participate in the WET program, which aims to address the shortage of mental health practitioners in the public mental health systems (“PMHS”) through a framework that engages Regional Partnerships and supports individuals through five potential categories including: Pipeline Development, Loan Repayment, Undergraduate College and University Scholarships, Clinical Master and Doctoral Graduate Education Stipend, and Retention Activities. Increasing PMHS professionals will provide more treatment and early intervention services and increase wellness, recovery, resilience and other positive behavioral health, mental health, substance use, and primary care outcomes for Yolo County residents.
On or about October 24, 2023, the parties amended the agreement to increase County’s match to $89,340.80.
Approval of this amendment will allow CalMHSA to transfer the remaining WET program funding back to County. As a condition of the funding transfer, County will then agree to take on the responsibility of all requirements of the Program including, but not limited to, assuming all responsibilities for the administration of the Program, the management of funds, and the required reporting.
