RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment to accept funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development to increase the payment limit by $169,007 to a new payment limit of $796,157 for Community Services Block Grant program services with no change to the term January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State funding.
No county match required.

Funding will be included in the Department's FY 2009-10 budget.

BACKGROUND:

On January 22, 2008 the Board authorized the Department to accept funds from the California Department of Community Services and Development in support of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program which is operated by the Department's Community Services Bureau. The funding amount is based on the County's low-income population which meets federal poverty guidelines. The inital award was a partial allocation until the State budget process was further resolved. An amendment to increase the allocation was accepted by the Board on April 8, 2008.

This amendment provides inital funding for the 2009 portion of the contract. It is also a partial allocation pending resolution of the State budget.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department's 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.
