Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a Healthy Start Initiative - Eliminating Racial/Ethnic Disparities Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide a variety of services in reducing infant mortality for pregnant and parenting women. The Metropolitan Council first approved the grant contract through Resolution No. RS2024-619.
The proposed amendment would remove a grant condition requiring the submission of a budget form and budget justification. The amendment would also provide for the Division of Healthy Start and Prenatal Services to review the type of clinician included in the latest budget submission and determine if the clinician type aligns with the intent of the grant funds.
