RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/258 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an agreement amendment with Department of Community Services and Development, Community Services Block Grant to increase the total grant agreement amount by $8,768 to a new total of $908,852 for the period January 1, 2020 through May 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive $908,852. The County receives a pass-through of federal funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development. There is no County match requirement.  










BACKGROUND:

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, economic development and food security. Examples of programs to receive funding include those that provide employment training, housing payment assistance and food distribution.  
  
This board order is to accept the County's allocation of $908,852 for the 2020 program year to include an increase in funding. The funding amount is based on the County’s low-income population, which meets federal poverty guidelines. The discretionary dollars are to be used to target needs within the community and/or to increase agency capacity.  

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.
