RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of the East Bay, to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new amount not to exceed $1,207,312 to provide Head Start/Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Childcare Partnership Program services with no change to term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,207,312: This contract is entirely federally funded by Administration for Children and Families with CFDA No. 93.600. There are no County costs. (100% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start/Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Childcare Partnership Program services to program eligible County residents. On June 23, 2020, the County received $1,690,825 from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to support Head Start programs to adapt programming to meet needs of families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (C.23). The county will distribute this one-time funding to county childcare partners who receive Head Start funding and have provided childcare services during the pandemic. The additional funding will be used to reimburse Contractor's expenses related to materials and resources purchased to support programmatic and family needs encountered during the pandemic. Approval of this board order will allow the execution of a contract amendment to distribute this additional funding to this Contractor.

The Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. Approval of this contract amendment will allow provision of 192 program slots for Head Start/Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Childcare Partnership Program services to program eligible children and families in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau contract 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.
