Summary
Julie Sorenson of Public Health reviewed General Assistance activity for fiscal year 2026 and noted a forthcoming Public Health alignment that will affect county reporting procedures and grant income distribution.
Julie Sorenson, representing Public Health, briefed the Board on General Assistance outcomes for FY 2026 and described an upcoming Public Health alignment intended to standardize reporting and influence grant income flows to counties.
Sorenson summarized how many people were helped in FY 2026 (the transcript notes assistance counts generally but does not provide an exact figure in the record) and said the alignment will aid counties in reporting and grant income.

The Board did not take formal action on the alignment at the June 23 meeting; staff indicated the change will affect future reporting and grant administration.
