VISION ALIGNMENT:
|
Commitment: Ensure basic health and safety for all.

Goal(s) 5 and 8: Residents have access to healthcare and preventive care; and help vulnerable people – the aged, disabled, mentally ill, at-risk youth and others – achieve a better quality of life.
|
|
|
The agreements with ACRC and CDC contribute to this commitment and goals by providing a food program and dental services that contribute to increase client self-sufficiency and improve the quality of life of those affected by HIV/AIDS. These performance measures reflect improvement from the previous year.

BACKGROUND:
|
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provides CARE Act emergency funds to eligible metropolitan areas (EMAs) that are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. CARE Act funding comes to San Mateo County AIDS Program (SMCAP) through an agreement with the City and County of San Francisco.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
DHHS has not yet announced the funding amount that will be available to the San Francisco EMA. It is expected that DHHS will release the amounts of the awards by March 2005. SMCAP will develop contracts as soon as the amount of the award is known.
|
|
|
SMCAP has contracts with the AIDS Community Research Consortium for HIV food services, for $282,700; and with Community Dental Care, Inc., for HIV dental services for $195,360, with terms ending February 28, 2005. To ensure continued provision of services while funding agreements are completed with DHHS and the City and County of San Francisco, it is necessary to authorize the Controller to continue to make payments to these contracts at the existing rates through June 30, 2005. Contractors shall be paid in accordance with all terms and conditions included in original agreements through June 30, 2005 or until amended agreements are completed.
|
|
|
FISCAL IMPACT:
|
Funds for the annual cost of these agreements have been included in the AIDS Program approved budget for fiscal year 2004-05. There is no net county cost.
