County Contract Number: #29-212

BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to provide child care to program-eligible families for children ages 0-12 years old. Families must meet at least one of these eligibility criteria to meet program eligibility: receiving cash aid, income eligible, experiencing homelessness, or recipients of protective services or at risk of being abused, neglected or exploited. During Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the program served approximately 604 families with 907 children.

The Board of Supervisors approved the funding application for fiscal year 2022-2023 on January 18, 2022 (C.26). The Board approved the funding application in the amount of $9,850,269 on October 25, 2022 (C.25).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, program-eligible families and children 0-12 years of age will not receive alternative payment program childcare services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
