Committee forwards $397,919 SAMHSA/CSAT grant for HIV prevention to full Board
Summary
The committee voted to send to the full Board a resolution allowing the Department of Public Health to accept a three-year SAMHSA/CSAT grant of $397,919 for HIV prevention work; staff flagged a retroactivity issue in the grant period language.
The San Francisco Budget and Finance Committee on Wednesday forwarded to the full Board a resolution authorizing the Department of Public Health to accept a three-year grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment totaling $397,919.
Victor Young introduced the item and Tracy Packer, identified in the hearing as acting deputy director of HIV prevention, and Jenna Rapuess, a health educator in HIV prevention, said they were available to answer questions about the program. Packer introduced staff and described program staffing and support; the transcript records the grant amount as $397,919 and includes a notation about the grant period that staff said likely requires amendment for retroactivity (the hearing references a period phrased in the transcript as "for the period of September '7 to 09/29/2008").
With no members of the public testifying, the committee closed public comment and, without objection, sent the resolution to the full Board with a recommendation.
