RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to purchase, on behalf of the Health Services Director, 60 Ross, 60 Safeway, 60 Target, 60 Walmart, 40 BART and 40 AC Transit gift cards in a denomination of $15 each and 75 Starbucks, 70 Subway and 95 McDonald’s gift cards in a denomination of $5 each for a total amount of $6,000 to use as incentives for consumer participation in Calli House Emergency Youth Shelter.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $6,000 and will be funded 100% by Community Services Block Grant. No County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Health Services Department’s Homeless Program received a grant to provide services to homeless youth. Included in the grant budget is a line item for client incentives in the amount of $6,000. Gift cards are provided to youth consumers as an incentive for ongoing and meaningful participation and involvement in their case plan, acknowledgement of special achievements, employment and housing readiness and move-in assistance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to provide incentives for the youth consumers’ special achievements, meaningful participation, employment, and housing readiness or for move-in assistance.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The recommendation supports the following children's outcomes: (2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
