No County match is required.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

State Contract Number: CSPP-2051-01
County Contract Number: 39-908-39

BACKGROUND:

On August 9, 2022, the Board approved Board Order (C.26) to accept funds for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for the continuation of EHSD preschool services.

The County receives funds from CDE to provide preschool services to program-eligible families for children ages 3-5 years old. Eligible families must meet at least one of these eligibility criteria: receiving cash-aid, income eligible, experiencing homelessness, or recipients of protective services or at risk of being abused, neglected or exploited. For Full-Day services, families must have an established need for child care in addition to meeting eligibility criteria. The program is operated by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Community Services Bureau (CSB). During Fiscal Year 2022-2023, approximately 1,098 families and 1,163 children received preschool services throughout the County.

The California Department of Education notified EHSD on November 15, 2022 of the contract amendment for 2022-2023 of the California State Preschool program services. This Board Order is to accept additional funds for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for EHSD to continue providing preschool services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Contra Costa residents eligible to receive these services will not receive preschool services.

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 children throughout Contra Costa County.
