APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development, and execute a contract in an amount not to exceed $30,000 for Community Services Block Grant program services for the period June 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded entirely with Federal funding via California Department of Community Services and Development. It is a pass through of Federal funds [CFDA #93.569]. There is no county match.


State Contract: 19F-4409

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

County Contract: 39-823

BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification of funding from California Department of Community Services and Development on April 23, 2019. As the County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity Council (EOC). This funding is for selected Community Action agencies to receive discretionary funds to support activities in agency capacity and expanding or enhancing program services. The funds can also be used to support programs that focus on the homeless population and to assist low-income individuals to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit. Funding is provided under 3 categories: Capacity Building, Homelessness, and Earned Income Tax Credit.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Department will be hampered in its ability to meet the needs of the community and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This action of the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau supports two of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by funding programs that support self-sufficiency and the homeless population throughout Contra Costa County.
