RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Education to increase the payment limit by $1,345,174 to a new amount not to exceed $7,160,177, to provide for childcare and development programs (CalWORKS Stage 2) with no change to term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This revenue agreement is funded by the California Department of Education, with 12.8% ($916,006) funded federally [CFDA #93.575], and 87.2% ($6,244,171) funded by state general funds. No County match is required. There is no impact needing a budget adjustment for the 2018-19 budget period.

The state contract number is C2AP 8009 / Amend 1. The County contract number is 29-213-33a.

BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification on June 12, 2019 from the California Department of Education (CDE) for the 2018-19 funding allocation for alternative payment / CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare services. This State program provides funding to reimburse a portion of the childcare costs incurred by CalWORKS Stage 2 participants through their participation in the CalWORKS program. The Board approved the original contract on June 26, 2018 (Item C.70). The State routinely adds funding to these types of contracts prior to the close of the program year; more funds become available throughout the State as other State grantees do not meet enrollment goals. The State then re-distributes the funds to other State grantees. The additional funds have already been allocated as the department currently has a caseload to support the new allocation. The current Earnings Projection Report calculations submitted to CDE includes the additional allocation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not have additional funds to operate the CalWORKS Stage 2 childcare program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department's 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.
