Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Under the CalFresh Healthy Living program (CFHL), Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) conducts nutrition education and obesity prevention activities to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) eligible residents of Yolo County.
SNAP-Ed audience specifically includes SNAP participants and other low-income individuals who are part of a household with annual household income below 185 percent of the federal poverty level and are qualified to receive SNAP benefits or other means-tested Federal Assistance programs. It also includes individuals residing in communities with a significant (50 percent or greater) low-income population.
The focus of this program is health promotion and community change efforts to help the CalFresh eligible population establish healthy eating habits and a physically active lifestyle for primary prevention of obesity and resulting chronic diseases, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis etc. The CFHL offers comprehensive public health approach that enables partners to work together to prevent obesity and serve County’s low-income families.
HHSA conducts CFHL activities in three main service areas to reach the SNAP eligible population: Food Banks/Food Distribution sites, elementary schools in Woodland and West Sacramento, and in partnership with CommuniCare clinics. Activities include education of adults and children, institutional policies to support access to healthy foods and beverages, and environmental changes in schools to improve availability of healthy foods and produce throughout the school year
The importance of education around healthy eating habits and a physically active lifestyle cannot be emphasized more, considering the continuous growth in obesity rates across all age groups of the population. Staff recommends approval of this amendment so that these vital services for the community can continue.
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
Not applicable to State Revenue agreement.
