RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board, to accept grant funds from California Volunteers-Office of the Governor, in an amount not to exceed $2,423,457, to increase employment opportunities for youth ages 16-30, develop career pathways and strengthen local capacity to address key areas of food insecurity, climate, and COVID-19 recovery for the period March 28, 2022 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State revenue of $2,423,457 for a 2-year period ending June 30, 2024. No required County match.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Workforce Development Board was a successful respondent to California Volunteers-Office of the Governor Request for Application Solicitation No. RFA# JP21-002 Californians For All Youth Jobs Corps, and received a Notice of Intent to Award effective March 28, 2022. This was followed by a confirmation letter of grant award dated April 15, 2022.

Funds will be used to support and enhance the Foster Youth Garden Apprenticeship operated by John Muir Land Trust Family Harvest Farm and the Contra Costa County Health Ambassador Program (a partnership program among the County Health Services Department, County Employment and Human Services Department, and the County Workforce Development Board).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this additional revenue, vulnerable populations may not have access to service-oriented job training projects and employment support.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The revenue and services funded under this agreement supports all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (3) Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
