DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES/HEALTH DIVISION – OAKLAND UNIVERSITY, FISCAL YEAR 2017 REACH GRANT ACCEPTANCE The Health Division is requesting acceptance of the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) program grant. The funding period is from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017. The award is in the amount of $129,306, which is a $50,382 decrease from last year. The decrease is due to the grant being in the final year of three years and the current need is no t as great for supplies as in the past. This grant is a continuation grant that funds one full-time eligible Public Health Educator. This position will be affecte d by the sunset clause and the employee is aware that if the grant monies are discontinued, the position will be terminated. Oakland University has partnered with the Health Division on behalf of the Healthy Pontiac We Can! Coalition that targets obesity issues in Pontiac’s public. The Finance Committee voted unanimous approval of the grant last week. Taub moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Fleming.
