RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of the East Bay in an amount not to exceed $1,107,312 to provide Head Start/Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Childcare Partnership Program services for the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,107,312: This contract is entirely federally funded by Administration for Children and Families with CFDA No. 93.600. There are no County costs. (100% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start/Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Childcare Partnership Program services to program eligible County residents. The Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. Approval of this contract will allow provision of 192 program slots for Head Start/Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Childcare Partnership Program services to program eligible children and families in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community-based agencies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau contract 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.
