1. Substance Aabuse 1°reatrrsent For those agencies providing direct substance abuse treatment services-the Big Island Substance Abuse Council (East and West Hawaii) and Bridge House in South Kona-we propose a combined funding increase of $5,500.

Care For programs providing HIV/AIDS education, prevention and ongoing care-the Big Islands AIDS Project and West Ilawaii AIDS Foundation-we proposed a combined funding increase of $6,500.

Transportation For transportation programs, we propose a net increase of $8,000 to support the transportation needs of Hamakua Health Center patients in the Hamakua and North Hawaii districts. We also encourage the County Mass Transit agency to proceed to work closely with the Hawaii County Economic Opportunity Council (HCEOC) to consolidate all county funding for HCEOC transportation services under the Mass Transit budget in coming years. Agency FY 00-01 Grant Request FY 01-02 Proposed FY 01-02 Change Net HCEOC $150,000 $170,000 $150,000 -0- Hamakua Heath Center -0- $ 35,342 S 8,000 $8,000 +$8,000 ~lon~lessness Munger ~rograavls For programs providing emergency/transitional housing, intervention and health programs-the East Hawaii Coalition for the Homeless, Catholic Social Ministries Care-A-Van and Food Bank, and Mental Health Kokua- we propose funding at prior year levels. We note that funding requested by the Catholic Social Ministries Care-A-Van program ($30,000) is actually $4,000 less than last year's appropriation. Last year, the Council appropriated an extraordinary $9,900* (see table, next page) increase to Catholic Social Ministries' Mobile Carc Health Project to assist in the purchase of a new Winnebago van. Accordingly, proposed funding is adjusted in lane with prior year operational support--$19,100 in FY 1999-00. Finally, a modest increase to support Mental Health Kokua's transitional housing programs for the mentally ill in both Hilo and Kona is recommended.
