RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Defender, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant from the Bay Area Census Funders Collaborative in an amount not to exceed $50,000 to provide Census 2020 education and outreach through the Stand Together Contra Costa program for the period July 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, the Program could receive up to $50,000 in grant funding for 2020 Census related activities. A County match in funding is not required.

BACKGROUND:

The Bay Area Census Funders Collaborative (BACFC) awards grants to nonprofit organizations that promote participation in the 2020 Census. If awarded, the funds will be used by Stand Together Contra Costa, a program developed and hosted by the Public Defender's Office. The program, which currently provides legal services and education in support of safety and justice for immigrant families, is uniquely positioned to reach residents of historically hard-to-count areas and will provide education and outreach in an effort to minimize an undercount of residents during the 2020 Census.



CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Stand Together Contra Costa program will be unable to apply for and accept the grant from the Bay Area Census Funders Collaborative.
