No County match required

BACKGROUND:

On February 17, 2009 the President of the United States signed Public Law 111-5, the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)", which includes funding for Community Services Block Grant programs. This funding flows through the State of California via the California Department of Community Services and Development and is available through competitive application to the State's Community Action agencies. The Employment & Human Services Department Commmunity Services Bureau administers the county's Community Action program and seeks to submit a funding application.

The goals of this funding include the Community Services Assistant Trainee program, Employment & Human Services Volunteer and Emergency Services, Contra Costa County Summer Youth Employment, City of Richmond Summer Youth Employment Program, and Co-operative Micro-enterprise Development program.


The Board of Supervisors accepted this funding on June 23, 2009. This amendment adds language, requested by the State of California, to clarify funding terms and conditions and fiscal reporting requirements.
