The Local Health Department Funding Experiences white paper highlights the challenges and dynamics of public health funding at the local level. Through interviews with diverse health departments, it examines the complexities of federal, state, and local funding mechanisms, highlighting the persistent issues of underfunding, inflexibility, and administrative burdens. It offers actionable recommendations aimed at improving funding processes, enhancing resource allocation, and fostering a resilient public health infrastructure. This white paper serves as a resource for LHDs seeking to address systemic funding disparities and advance public health, and was developed for NACCHO by the Center for Public Health Systems (CPHS) at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. Access it here.
