RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Lao Family Community Development, Inc., decreasing the payment limit by $450,000 to a new payment limit of $555,000 for job skills and placement services for limited English speaking and non-English speaking California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) participants for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$555,000: 15% State. 85% Federal: California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), single allocation

BACKGROUND:

This decrease in the payment limit is due to the decreased costs documented in the revised budget submitted. Lao Family Community Development Inc provides pre- and post-employment services and translation and interpretation services in Vietnamese and various Laotian dialects to limited English proficient refugees that are CalWORKs participants residing in West Contra Costa County. Services include assisted job search, job placement, employment dispute resolution for job retention, and other job related information. (19-989-3)

Funds from the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) will not be available for other uses.
