On June 21, 2022 (C.127), the Board of Supervisors approved the contract for YMCA of the East Bay to operate a Head Start Program in the Eastern portion of Contra Costa County in response to EHSD’s RFI 1184.

On May 27, 2022 (C.27 & C.34) the Board of Supervisors approved the COLA and QI adjustment for Head Start and Early Head Start programs. This contract amendment is to include an increase of $13,772 of federal funds, due to Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).
