BACKGROUND:

The County receives funding from California Department of Community Services and Development to operate Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for program-eligible households in Contra Costa County. The Board approved receipt of the original contract on January 19, 2010. The contract was amended and approved by the Board on June 8, 2010. This board order accepts the increased allocation for 2011. The State routinely amends these types of contracts as the federal and state budgets are enacted.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, funds will not be added to LIHEAP program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau LIHEAP supports one Contra Costa County community outcome - Outcome 4: "Famlies that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing." This outcome is achieved by providing energy program assistance to help keep households warm in the winter and to increase household energy efficiency.
