RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/286 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Education to increase the total Contract amount by $685,486 to an amount not to exceed $6,784,344 to provide California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKS, Stage 2) childcare and development programs for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

85% ($5,760,572) State. 15% ($1,023,772) Federal dollars passed through the State Department of Education [CFDA #93.575]
The State funding number C2AP 0008-02; County number 29-213-38.

BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification on June 2, 2020 from California Department of Education for the 2020-21 funding allocation for alternative payment / CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare services. This State program provides funding to reimburse a portion of the childcare costs incurred by CalWORKS Stage 2 participants through their participation in the CalWORKS program. The County Board of Supervisors approved agreement on June 23, 2020 (C.30). The first amendment added language to reflect Contra Costa County Pilot Plan with no changes on payment or term limit and therefore not requiring board approval. This board resolution is to accept additional funds from the State.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not have funds to operate CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department's 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.
