The County routinely receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) and California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to provide childcare and development services for infant/toddler and preschool children. The County receives the money via the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD). EHSD contracts with seven child care partner agencies to provide direct childcare and development services for infant/toddler and preschool children.
 
 
On July 15, 2021, Assembly Bill 131 (Chapter 116, Statutes of 2021) was passed and signed by Governor Newsom on July 23, 2021. Section 263(b)(1) of that bill states that CDE and CDSS are to provide a flat-rate one-time stipend amount of $600 per child enrolled in state subsidized child care or state preschool program funded through CDE or CDSS. Funds may be used for any allowable expense that would be reimbursable under any existing child development contract to address COVID-19 related costs or to ensure programs are able to remain open or reopen. Use of these funds are subject to audit and will be appropriately tracked by EHSD. Stipend allocation will be distributed to EHSD as a direct payment outside of the child development contract and will not be subject to applicable reporting requirements.

On October 20, 2021, directives from CDSS Child Care Bulletin 21-12 states, “whereas applicable, Contractors [EHSD] must make every effort to distribute stipend payments to child care providers no more than thirty (30) calendar days after the check is received by the contactor.” EHSD received the stipend funds on October 18, 2021. EHSD requests the Board of Supervisors authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a one-time payment to the following child care partner agencies for services rendered in March 2021:
 
  • First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California  $157,200
  • Tiny Toes Preschool and Childcare Center $6,000

Cassandra Youngblood 05/11/2021:BOS  Stipends to Contra Costa County childcare providers per CA Assembly Bill 82  Employment & Human Services Kathy Gallagher
  The County routinely receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE), via the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), to provide childcare and development services for infant/toddler and preschool age children. In turn, EHSD contracts with seven child care providers to provide direct childcare and development services for infant/toddler and preschool children.
 
 
On February 23, 2021, under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 82, to provide a flat-rate one-time stipend amount of $525 per child enrolled in November 2020 for subsidized childcare or a State Preschool program through CDE. Funds may be used for any allowable expense that would be reimbursable under any existing child development contract to address COVID-19 related costs or to ensure the programs are able to remain open or reopen. In addition, funds may also be expended for minor remodeling, and for upgrading child care facilities to assure that State and local child care standards are met, including applicable health and safety requirements. The fund expenditure is subject to audit, and will be appropriately tracked by Employment and Human Services Department. Stipend funds must be expended by June 30, 2022. Stipend allocation was distributed from the State to EHSD as a direct payment outside of EHSD's child development contract, and will not be subject to the reporting requirements associated with a child development contract.

EHSD must make every effort to distribute stipend funds to the partner agencies within thirty (30) calendar days of April 15, 2021. Thus, the Department requests the board to authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue one-time payments to each of the following service providers in the amounts indicated:
  • Kindercare Mahogany - $7,875
  • First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, CA -  $128,625
