$4,339,266 (58% Federal, with AL #93.596 and #93.575);

State Contract Number: CAPP-1009-1
County Contract Number: 29-212-45

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notification of amendment from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) on November 30, 2021, to amend Contract number CAPP-1009. Thereof the additional allocation is to provide additional child care slots and a cost of living adjustment (COLA) authorized pursuant to Section 265 of Assembly Bill 131 (Chapter 116, Statues of 2021), and funding for family fee waivers pursuant to Section 263(b)(3) of Assembly Bill 131. The original revenue agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors on July 13, 2021, (C.48), in the amount of $4,287,288. This Board Order is to accept additional funds from the State.

Effective July 1, 2021, California Department of Social Services is administering this program based on The Early Childhood Development Act of 2020 (Senate Bill 98, Chapter 24, Statutes of 2020). The alternative payment childcare services program provides funding for program eligible families to receive services. Priority is given to families who interface with Child Protective Services, families with children at-risk of abuse and neglect, low-income families, and families with children who have special needs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive additional funding to operate this childcare 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 2: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 3: “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.
