AL # 93.569
State Contract Number: 23F-4007
County Contract Number: 39-813-57

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notification of funding increase from the California Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) in November 2022. On December 1, 2022, CSD provided notification of funding terms and requirement to EHSD.

As the County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau (CSB) regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity Council. The self-sufficiency programs have the goal of ameliorating poverty in Contra Costa County through programs that address housing, food security, mental health access, employment, and economic development. Examples of programs to receive funding include those that provide housing payment assistance, food distribution, wrap-around health & mental health services, and employment training.

This Board Order is to accept the County's allocation of $927,194 for the 2023-2024 program year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Department will be hampered in its ability to operate self-sufficiency programs in the community, and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Community Services Bureau of the EHSD's Head Start program supports two (2) of Contra Costa County's community outcomes Outcome 3: Families that are Economically Self-sufficient, and Outcome 4: Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing. These outcomes are achieved by offering partnerships with Community Based Organizations that include high quality services in nutrition, legal consultation, and health services to low-income children and families throughout Contra Costa County.
