BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (Department) was notified by the California Department of Education on June 13, 2017 of the County's 2017-18 allocation for the Alternative Payment Childcare Services Program. The Alternative Payment Childcare Services Program provides funding for program eligible families to receive services. Priority is given to families who interface with Child Protective Services; families with children at-risk of abuse and neglect; low-income families; and families with children who have special needs. The Board of Supervisors approved receipt of 2017-18 funding at its July 11, 2017 (C.53) meeting. This amendment is to increase the payment limit as additional funds were awarded by the State.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive additional funding to operate this childcare program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department 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.
