CFDA # 93.569

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

State Contract Number: 18F-5007
County Contract Number: 39-813-46

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (Department) received notification of funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development on September 25, 2017. 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 board order is to accept the County's allocation of $838,958 for the 2018 program year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Employment and Human Services Department will be hampered in its ability to operate self-sufficiency program in the community, and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and 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.
