RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a revenue agreement with the State of California Department of Social Services (CDSS), for a payment limit of $3,567,014 for California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Stage 2 childcare program, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

County is to receive an amount not to exceed $3,567,014 from CDSS for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, all of which has been budgeted in FY 2022-2023:

State Contract Number: C2AP-2009-00

BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to provide CalWORKs Stage 2 Childcare Program (C2AP) to program-eligible families for children ages 0-12 years old. Families must meet at least one of these eligibility criteria to meet program eligibility: receiving cash aid within the last 24 months, income eligible, experiencing homelessness, or recipients of protective services or at risk of being abused, neglected or exploited, and have an established need for child care. During Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the program served approximately 494 families with 768 children.

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notification of renewal from CDSS on July 25, 2022, for Agreement Number C2AP-2009. The Board of Supervisors approved the Continued Funding Application for fiscal year 2022-2023 to continue receiving funding for Alternative Payment Childcare Services on January 18, 2022 (C.26).

This board order is to accept funds from California Department of Social Services in the amount of $3,567,014 for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, program-eligible families and children 0-12 years of age will not receive CalWORKs Stage 2 program childcare services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three (3) 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.
