BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start to provide Home-based Early Head Start Program Services for eligible County residents. EHSD, in turn, contracts with community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services.

On July 13, 2021 (C. 57) the Board of Supervisors approved a Contract for the provision of 149 program slots/Early Head Start enhancement services to eligible children and families in Contra Costa County. This Board Order is to add $457,500 to the Contract, for Contractor to operate the First Five Home Visiting program utilizing funds received from First Five Contra Costa Children and Families Commission, which will support the enhancement of the program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, fewer eligible families will be served by the County's Early Head Start Enhancement program.

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 pregnant women and families throughout Contra Costa County.
