RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an agreement amendment to accept funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development to increase the payment limit by $94,396 to a new payment limit of $890,553 for Community Services Block Grant program services with no change to the term January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County match
100% State funds

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

On January 22, 2008 the Board authorized the Department to accept funds from the California Department of Community Services and Development in support of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program which is operated by the Department's Community Services Bureau. The funding amount is based on the County's low-income population which meets federal poverty guidelines. The initial award was a partial allocation until the State budget process was further resolved. An amendment to increase the allocation was accepted by the Board on April 8, 2008.

A further amendment to increase the FY 2009 allocation by $169,007 to a new payment limit of $796,157 was approved by the Board on March 31, 2009. This amendment brings the FY 2009 allocation current.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department's Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes - Outcome 1: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School," Outcome 3: "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient," and Outcome 4: "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing." These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
