Grant Summary and Timeline: KDHE provides Aid to Local (ATL) Grant Funding opportunities to support specific or targeted health service needs on an annual basis. The ATL Grant application opportunity covers many, but not all, of the grants awarded from KDHE to the Health Department. This grant represents 18% of the Health Department budget and 30% of all grants received. The Health Department was awarded $2,134,475 for the previous SFY 2015; we are requesting an average combined overall increase of $153,114 or 7.2% above the SFY 2015 award. Without this funding, many programs would be drastically reduced or services would no longer be provided.
The Health Department is requesting ATL funding in the amount of $2,287,589; combined with the required match of $413,150 for a total of $2,700,739 for SFY 2016. (See Attachment 1 - Table 1 provides an overview of funding by category requested for SFY 2016, as well as a list of the funding awards received for SFY 2015.)
Three grant categories require match funding:
a) Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) has a 25% match requirement;
b) Family Planning and
c) Maternal and Child Health (MCH) both have a 40% match requirement.
