APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to ACCEPT funding from California Department of Community Services and Development in an amount not to exceed $57,054 for Community Services Block Grant program services during the term January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

State: 10F-4008
County: 39-813-20

BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification of funding from California Department of Community Services and Development on December 30, 2009. As the County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity Council (EOC). The funding amount is based on the County’s low-income population which meets federal poverty guidelines. This initial award for the 2010 program year is a partial allocation based on the partial grant award received by the State from the federal government for CSBG. Upon resolution of the federal grant award, the remaining Contra Costa County portion of the CSBG allocation will be forwarded.
