Funding and Contracts

Local Health Jurisdictions

Historically, a combination of local, state, and federal resources has financed services provided by local health jurisdictions. These include:

Local funds: county general funds, licenses, permits, and fees for services
State funds: contracts for specific programs, flexible funds to meet local needs, and reimbursement for performing specific services (i.e., Medicaid reimbursement)
Federal funds: contracts for specific programs and reimbursement for performing specific services (most of this funding is passed through the state Department of Health)
Other funding—such as federal or private grants

The mix of these funds and the conditions attached to their use have changed over time.
