RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with COCOKIDS, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $312,000 to provide Early Head Start Program Enhancement services for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Federal funds / CFDA 93.708  
Grant source is Administration for Children and Families (Head Start Program).  

No County match.  

38-803-3


BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Early Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. This board order renews a contract with COCOKIDS, formerly Contra Costa Child Care Council, to provide Home-based Early Head Start service to 52 pregnant women and/or children ages birth to three years old. Services are to be administered through the Contractor's licensed Family Child Care providers to enhance the services provided in the Contractor's existing full-day programs.

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:

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.
