AL # 93.569
State Contract Number: 22F-5007
County Contract Number: 39-813-54

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (Department) received notification of funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development on November 10, 2021.

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, food security, mental health access, employment, and economic development. Examples of programs to receive funding include those that provide housing payment assistance, food distribution, wrap-around health & mental health services, and employment training.

This board order is to accept the County's allocation of $873,970 for the 2022-2023 program year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Department 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.
