RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Monument Impact in an amount not to exceed $116,486 for job search and placement services to California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) clients with limited English proficiency for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds allocated for this contract are from the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Single Allocation (85% Federal, 15% State). [CFDA #93.558]

BACKGROUND:

California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Welfare-to-Work (WTW) recipients face multiple barriers to employment.

The Contractor provides job readiness, job search and placement, and English as a second language (ESL) classes in the local adult schools, community colleges, or other appropriate educational institutions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Valuable job training services to limited English speaking CalWORKs clients would terminate.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports two of the five community outcomes established in the Children's Outcome Report - Outcome 3: Families that are Economically Self Sufficient and Outcome 4: Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing, by providing job training to encourage family self-sufficiency.
