Budget Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Mebane 227-2031 Durham 688-7331 Purpose: To accept a subcontract from the Chapel Hill Training and Outreach Project Inc. (CHTOP) in the amount of$12;878.00 to the Orange County Health Department to provide supportive services to the Family Resource Center in Northern Orange County. Background: The CHTOP has received an emergency grant from the Local Smart Start Board to administrator three family resource centers in Orange County. The emergency was created when a former contractor to the Smart Start Board failed to maintain its agreement. As a partner in the Local Smart Start Board,the Health Department was asked to assist the Family Resource Center in collaboration with CHTOP. This request was justified in part because the Health Department, through the Community-Based Public Health Initiative, had assisted in getting the Family Resource Center in Northern Orange County started. The attached agreement has been evolving since we began our collaborative work in January, 1997. The agreement provides the Health Department funding for a half-time health educator to work with the center coordinator and the Family Resources Center Board to accomplish the following outcomes: 1. Building leadership capacity of community members through the Community Voices Program. 2. Coordination of programming provided by the Health Department and other resources, e.g. Health Screening, Well Child exams, immunizations, and classes on health and other topics of interest to the community.
