BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the Economic Opportunity Council. The self-sufficiency programs have the goal of ameliorating poverty in Contra Costa County through programs that address housing, economic development, and food security. Examples of programs to receive funding include those that provide employment training, housing payment assistance, and food distribution.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Department will be hampered in its ability to operate self-sufficiency programs in the community and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.
