BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County submits an application annually to the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) as the Head Start grantee. The Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the 2018 grantee application on September 12, 2017 (C. 66). ACF developed an additional funding opportunity for Early Head Start in 2016 - Early Head Start - Childcare Partnership funding. The County applied for and was awarded these funds in 2016 and 2017. This board order seeks approval to submit the application for the third year of funding, due April 1, 2018. The Policy Council will review the grant application for approval on March 21, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County would forego funding used to enhance services within the County Early Head Start program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Head Start program 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.
