Executive Summary:
The Sonoma County Department of Health Services (hereinafter, “DHS” or “the Department”) receives federal Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG) funding via the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to provide substance use disorder services. One of the programs funded by the SABG in Sonoma County is the Friday Night Live (FNL) program, a youth development program focused on preventing alcohol and other drug use by middle school and high school students.
A portion of this funding has been designated each year for use by Sonoma County’s FNL program for over twenty years and was previously directly administered by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). In 2022, the Tulare County Superintendent of Schools was selected by DHCS to distribute and administer the state-wide SABG FNL funding and, due to the selection of a new administrator for these funds, DHS is now entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tulare County Superintendent of Schools to receive the fiscal year 2022-2023 allocation of funding to support Sonoma County’s Friday Night Live program.
This item also requests approval of a resolution authorizing budgetary adjustments to the fiscal year 2022-2023 adopted budget, appropriating an additional $25,000 to reflect revenue and expenditures associated with the proposed agreement with Tulare County Superintendent of Schools. This $25,000 is an additional award beyond the $30,000 original budgeted allocation for this program, increasing the total allocation for FY2022-23 to $55,000, and includes an initiative by the state to focus on priority youth populations including Latinx and LGBTQ+ youth.
Discussion:
The Sonoma County Department of Health Services (DHS or “the Department”) receives federal Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG) funding via the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to provide substance use disorder services. The SABG program's objective is to help plan, implement, and evaluate activities that prevent and treat substance use disorders. DHS uses SABG program funding for prevention, treatment, recovery support, and other services to supplement Medicaid. One of the programs implemented in Sonoma County, Friday Night Live (FNL), is a youth development program aimed at high school and middle school youth and designed to prevent alcohol and other substance use and to promote youth development and offer youth leadership opportunities.
DHCS provided SABG set-aside funding for the California State Friday Live (FNL) Partnership to Tulare County Superintendent of Schools for the administration of the SABG FNL set-aside funds. This set-aside FNL funding received by Tulare is for Sonoma County FNL programs. For the past 20-plus years DHCS administered these set-aside SABG funds to the Counties including Sonoma County and this current fiscal year the administration of these funds was transferred to Tulare. The California FNL Partnership organization is housed and has been housed in Tulare for the past several years and Tulare has agreed to continue to house and support this statewide program. This item also requests approval of a resolution authorizing budgetary adjustments to the fiscal year 2022-2023 adopted budget, appropriating an additional $25,000 in revenues and expenditures associated with the proposed agreement with Tulare County Superintendent of Schools.
This $25,000 is an additional award beyond the $30,000 allocation received for this program in prior year and includes an initiative by the State to focus on priority youth populations including Latinx and LGBTQ+ youth.
