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. This ATL Grant funding represents 15% of the Division of Health budget and 26% of all grants received.
The Division of Health was awarded $1,837,492 for the previous SFY 2018. For SFY 2019, the Division of Health is requesting ATL funding in the amount of $1,834,774, with a required match of $353,048 for a total of $2,187,822; which is a decrease of ($2,718) or -0.15% below the SFY 2018 award received. Without this funding, many programs would be drastically reduced or services would no longer be provided. (See Attachment 1 for an overview of funding by category requested for SFY 2019, as well as a list of the amount of funding requested and awards received for SFY 2018.)
Two grant categories, Family Planning and Maternal and Child Health, both require a 40% match funding requirement. (See Attachment 2 for Match Funding Information Detail.)
Additionally, the State Formula block grant includes a Maintenance of Effort stipulation that specifies the amount of state formula that would be reduced proportionately (dollar per dollar), if local funding for the Division of Health is decreased from FY 2018 to FY 2019.
