BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification of funding from California Department of Community Services and Development on June 13, 2015. As the County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity Council (EOC). This funding is for selected Community Action agencies to receive discretionary funds to support training and technical assistance needs to build capacity. The funds can also be used to support program that focus on the homeless population and to assist low-income individuals to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit. Funding is provided under 3 categories: Capacity Building, Homelessness and Earned Income Tax Credit.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Department will be hampered in its ability to meet the needs of the community and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & 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.
