RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution 2020/269 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a revenue agreement Community Services Block Grant, Amendment 1, with the California Department of Community Services and Development to increase the total amount to pay County from $850,578 to $900,084 and extend the term from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 to January 1, 2020 through May 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive $900,084. The County receives a pass through of Federal funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development. (100% Federal) (No County match requirement)

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau regularly receives Community Services Block Grant funding to operate self-sufficiency programs with 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.

A board order for this increase in funds and extension of term was originally approved by the Board of Supervisors, May 26, 2020 (Agenda Item C.25) as a standard form board order. Since that approval, a resolution has been requested by the California Department of Community Services and Development. This board order with resolution is to address that request.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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