RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to apply for and accept Program Improvement funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start, in an amount not to exceed $995,000 for a supplemental, one-time grant to provide facility renovation and construction at the central kitchen facility for the Head Start program for the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County will receive a one-time federal Program Improvement grant in an amount not to exceed $995,000. As Grantee, the County is required to generate a 20% non-federal match ($248,750) which will come from the use of County-owned Head Start facilities. There is no community or parent involvement in this project, so there are no volunteer hours that will be sourced from the community.
