Title
Action on Request for Funding from Healthier Kids Foundation in the total amount of $210,000 for FY2019/20 to FY2021/22 for Dental, Hearing and Vision screenings and Case Management Services

Report
BACKGROUND
In June 2016, Council approved three years of financial support for Healthier Kids Foundation (HKF) in the amount of $70,000 per year ($210,000 total) for services focused on health and dental screenings and health education programs for Santa Clara residents. The current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) expires on July 1, 2019 (Attachment 1). The HKF is requesting City's consideration to enter into a new agreement and funding (Attachment 2).

DISCUSSION
For the three years of the contract, the HKF estimates it will have screened over 2,581 children for vision, 1,063 children for visible dental issues, and 976 children for adequate hearing. These totals include two years of data plus an estimate for FY 2018/19 based on doubling the first six months of actual service data. HKF also had approximately 394 parents attend the 10 Steps educational program. While HKH exceeded its goals in the first year, which was lower than the goals in the subsequent years, HKF had more difficulty meeting its goals in years two and three of the agreement (see table below). Overall, when the unduplicated count for parenting and healthy living education at City events and the health insurance enrollment figures are added, the total HKF clients served will have exceeded 5,600 persons served, as projected, versus the 5,250 client goal for the primary services of dental, vision, hearing and parent education classes.
