RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Martinez Early Childhood Center, Inc., a Non-Profit Corporation of California, in an amount not to exceed $257,960 to provide Early Head Start and Head Start Program Services for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Federal revenues ($257,960) from Administration for Children and Families, with CFDA No. 93.600.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start program enhancement 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. This contract is to provide Head Start and Early Head Start program enhancement services to 66 children through this partnership.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of this board order allows the continued provision of childcare services at Martinez Early Childhood Center for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

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:

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.
