RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Martinez Early Childhood Center to increase the payment limit by $22,000 to a new payment limit of not to exceed $236,000, effective July 1, 2017, for Early Head Start and Head Start Program Enhancement services with no change to the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The increase in payment limit of $22,000 is covered 100% by Federal grant funds from the Administration for Children and Families (Head Start Program).
CFDA 93.600

No County match.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The Employment and Human Services Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. The original contract was to provide Early Head Start and Head Start program enhancement services to 56 children through this partnership. The Board approved the original contract on July 18, 2017 (C.58). This board order authorizes a contract amendment to add 4 childcare slots, cover loss of subsidy from enrollment transition, and to increase program start-up funding.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to distribute childcare availability as widely through it's partnerships 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.
