RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay (dba YMCA of the East Bay), to increase the payment limit by $1,111,008 to a new payment limit of $2,516,490, and to extend the term through June 30, 2023, to provide additional Head Start and Early Head Start Program services and operations at specified childcare centers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$2,516,490: Amendment increase of $1,111,008 funded entirely by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Head Start (OHS), all of which is budgeted in FY 2022-23. No County match is required. CFDA/AL No. 93.600.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start services to program eligible County residents. The Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide program services.

The original contract with YMCA of the East Bay in the amount of $1,117,872 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 22, 2021 (C. 99). Contract Amendment #1 was approved on February 22, 2022 (C. 30) which increased the payment limit by $287,610 to a new payment limit of $1,405,482 to provide funding for expenses related to COVID-19 and enhancements to support staff, families, and children returning to Head Start and Early Head Start programs.

This second amendment is to increase the contract by $1,111,008 for a new total of $2,516,490 for the continuation of HS and EHS childcare program services in FY 2022-23. Approval of this amendment #2 will allow provision of 191 program slots for Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS) services to program eligible children and families in Contra Costa County in FY 2022-23.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau 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.
