RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families in an amount not to exceed $1,138,429 for Early Head Start Childcare Partnership funding for the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Community Services Bureau of the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) will receive $1,138,429 in federal funding. The County, as Grantee, is required to generate a 20% non-federal match ($284,607), which is calculated by adding 25% of the federal grant to the federal grant amount and then calculating 20% of that total. This match is achieved through in-kind volunteer hours generated by Head Start parents and community partners.  
  


FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
[CFDA # 93.600]

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 2020 grantee application on September 10, 2019 (c.75). 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, 2017, 2018 and 2019. This board order seeks approval to submit the application for the fifth year of funding, due April 1, 2020. The Policy Council reviewed and approved the grant application on February 19, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Community Services Bureau of the EHSD's Head Start program supports three (3) 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.
