BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County submits an application annually to U.S. Health and Human Services Department, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) as the Head Start grantee. The Early Head Start Child Care Partnership services are operated by the Employment & Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 contains an increase for programs under the Head Start Act for Fiscal Year 2018. A portion of the increase provides a cost of living adjustment of 2.6 percent to assist grantees in increasing staff salaries and fringe benefits. The Department intends to use the funding to cover increased operational costs due to benefits and negotiated salary increases.  
  
The Head Start Policy Council reviewed and approved the application for approval on June 6, 2018. This board order is to obtain BOS approval for the grant submission.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, funding to assist with Early Head Start Child Care Partnership operating costs will be forfeited.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Head Start program 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.
