RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to continue the process of reimbursement to those employers participating in the Contra Costa Works (CCWORKS) Subsidized Employment Program whereby the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) will enter into worksite contractual/financial agreements with employers to allow for reimbursement of not less than $14.00 per hour but not to exceed $20 per hour for those CalWORKs clients worksited with employers during the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CalWORKs participant wage reimbursements are funded with $857,533 CalWORKs Single Allocation, 92% Federal and 8% State revenue. (CFDA #93.558)
BACKGROUND:
Based upon the success of the subsidized employment programs operated in response to Senate Bill 72 which extended the State reimbursement to counties for subsidized employment programs as authorized by Assembly Bill (AB) 98 (now Assembly Bill 74), EHSD developed and implemented the subsidized employment program known as CCWORKS.
