RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract renewal with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay in an amount not to exceed $1,135,646 to provide Head Start and Early Head Start Program services for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,135,646: This contract is 100% fully funded by a Federal grant from Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Head Start and Early Head Start, all of which has been budgeted for 2023-24. No County match is required. CFDA/AL No. 93.600.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start services to program eligible County residents. The Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. Approval of this contract will allow provision of 191 program slots for Head Start and Early Head Start services to program eligible children and families in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Board of Supervisors previously approved this contract on October 20, 2020 (C.53) for 2020-2021 renewal and then on June 22, 2021 (C.101, C.153) for the amendment. YMCA renewal and amendment for 2021-2022 was approved by the Board of Supervisor on June 22, 2021 (C.99) and June 21, 2022 (C.99). This board order request is for the 2023-2024 renewal.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.

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.
