Description

A resolution approving amendment one to a grant from A Step Ahead Foundation of Middle Tennessee, Inc. to the Metropolitan Government, acting by and through the Metropolitan Board of Health, to provide reimbursement for certain costs associated with providing long-acting reversible contraception.

Summary

The legislation authorizes Amendment 1 to Nashville’s grant agreement with A Step Ahead Foundation of Middle Tennessee, administered through the Metropolitan Public Health Department (MPHD). It extends the contract from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2027, without changing other terms or adding Metro funding or a local match. The $250,000 grant reimburses MPHD for fees related to long-acting reversible contraception that are not covered by insurance, other grants, or private payment. The amendment affects MPHD services available countywide and requires Metro Council approval and mayoral execution. It continues access to contraception-related care while the agreement remains active.
