CFDA # 93.569

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

State Contract Number: 21F-4007
County Contract Number: 39-813-49

BACKGROUND:

Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Community Services Bureau (CSB), received notification of funding from California Department of Community Services and Development on November 4, 2020. 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. The self-sufficiency programs have the goal of ameliorating poverty in Contra Costa County through programs that address housing, comprehensive health services, economic development and food security. Examples of programs to receive funding include those that provide employment training, housing payment assistance, wrap-around health services, and food distribution.

This Board Order is to accept funding in the amount of $876,852 for the 2021-2022 program year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD will be hampered in its ability to operate self-sufficiency programs in the community, and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.
