RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Martinez Early Childhood Center in an amount not to exceed $248,000 to provide Early Head Start and Head Start Program Enhancement services for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is fully funded by a grant from the Administration for Children and Families (Head Start Program), 100% Federal funds (CFDA 93.708). A County match is not required.
The contract number is 38-483-17.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide 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 contract is to provide Early Head Start and Head Start program enhancement services to 63 children through this partnership.

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.
