Information:
Contracts and Fiscal Invoicing
As of May 1, 2026, all 30 LMHA contracts have been fully executed. Of the 30 contractors, over half have submitted at least one financial invoice for reimbursement. To further increase the contractor’s invoice submission rate, staff have contacted contractors who have yet to invoice via email and phone to prompt and encourage timely invoice submissions for reimbursement, retroactive to January 1st, 2026. Staff are committed to timely communication and follow-ups within 24 hours whenever possible and continue to provide one-on-one technical and fiscal support to all contractors with a response.
Program Reporting, Networking, and Connectivity
LMHA reporting requirements and the reporting template have been provided to all contractors to support timely and accurate submissions. The materials include guidance regarding required documentation, reporting timelines, and submission expectations. Staff introduced a new requirement for contractors: incorporate a funding statement recognizing the Los Medanos Health Area on all applicable materials and communications. Moreover, to strengthen communication and partnership, staff developed a quarterly newsletter titled “The Los Medanos Health Area Connection Newsletter” for all contractors to learn more about LMHA program activities, resources, upcoming reminders, and community events. Due to the strong positive response and community interest, staff will introduce a monthly Los Medanos Health Area Community Engagement, Outreach, and Communication update, which will be shared on the 1st of each month. The goal of the monthly updates is to create a more consistent platform to highlight the LMHA contractor’s work and help ensure timely communication across the Los Medanos network. Additionally, beginning in June 2026, all LMHA contractors will have the opportunity to attend the Los Medanos Advisory Committee meetings to present updates and share information about their work and program activities. Staff hopes to develop a poster gallery in the near future to showcase funded projects and their program accomplishments.
Staff are working to update the LMHAC webpage on the Contra Costa Health (CCH) website to improve transparency and engagement by adding information about newly funded organizations, committee priorities, advisory roles, and program resources. Staff will coordinate with Supervisor Carlson and Supervisor Preston-Scales offices to link the website to the Supervisor’s webpages for increased community connectivity, access, and visibility.
