RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an agreement amendment (CAPP-1009 Amendment-3) with the State of California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to extend the Childcare Alternative Payment Program period of performance by one year through June 30, 2023 with no change to the payment limit of $8,058,703.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County is to receive an amount not to exceed $8,058,703 from CDSS for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023, all of which has been budgeted in FY 2022-2023:


$4,861,459 (60% Federal with AL/CFDA #93.575 and 93.596)

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

$3,197,244 (40% State)
No County match is required

BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to provide California Alternative Payment Program (CAPP) 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, income eligible, experiencing homelessness, or recipients of protective services or at risk of being abused, neglected or exploited, and have an established need for childcare. In Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the program served approximately 494 families with 768 children.

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notification of amendment on August 18, 2022, to amend Agreement Number CAPP-1009 (Amendment 3). The amendment is to extend the term end date from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

The Board approved the original revenue agreement on July 13, 2021 (C.48). The first amendment to increase payment limit from $4,287,288 to $7,536,510 was approved by the Board on February 1, 2022 (C.44). The second amendment to accept additional funds from the State in the amount of $522,193 to a new payment limit of $8,058,703 was approved on July 26, 2022 (C.32).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, program-eligible families and children 0-12 years of age will not continue to receive alternative payment program childcare services.

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.
