The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for critical Investment in a modern and innovative public health system to keep all Californians healthy. In response, the Budget Act of 2022 provides $200.4 million in
FoPH funding annually to local health jurisdictions (LHJs) to strengthen our public health workforce and infrastructure.
As a funding requirement, LHJs must submit a comprehensive three-year work plan and spend plan. Each LHJ is actively engaged in building a diverse team and the needed infrastructure to address the following key areas:
- Workforce development, recruitment, and training
- Emergency preparedness and response
- IT, data science, and informatics
- Communications, public education, engagement, and behavior change
- Community partnerships
- Community health improvement
These collective efforts are geared toward bridging gaps and equipping LHJs to meet the evolving needs and challenges of the 21st century.
