Board ratifies contracts including Pathways to Better Health and homelessness street-outreach grants
Summary
The board ratified a bundle of post-execution contracts. Grand Valley State University will fund a community health worker under Pathways to Better Health and the county will act as fiduciary for Emergency Solutions Grant awards to Community Action House for street outreach, rapid rehousing and related services.
Commissioners ratified several contracts and asked for clarification about specific program deliverables. Staff explained Grand Valley State University will pay for a portion of Pathways to Better Health programming — guaranteeing a community health worker for a day per week for three years to help students navigate health and social services.
On homelessness funding, staff said Community Action House received Emergency Solutions Grant funding (administered by the Lakeshore Housing Alliance) for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing and street outreach; county role is fiduciary oversight of invoicing and compliance. Commissioners asked for clearer, tangible reporting on outcomes tied to contract dollars.
