RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a revenue agreement in an amount not to exceed $4,287,288 from the California Department of Social Services, for alternative payment childcare programs operated by the County, with a term July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is 61.1% ($2,620,134) funded by Federal (CFDA #93.596 and #93.575), and 38.9% ($1,667,154) funded by the State.
No County match is required. State Contract CAPP 1009; County number is 29-212-44.

BACKGROUND:

The Department was notified by the California Department of Education on behalf of California Department of Social Services on June 1, 2021 of the County's 2021-22 funding renewal for the Alternative Payment childcare services program. Effective July 1, 2021, California Department of Social Services is administering this program based on The Early Childhood Development Act of 2020 (Senate Bill 98, Chapter 24, Statutes of 2020). The Alternative Payment childcare services program provides funding for program eligible families to receive services. Priority is given to families who interface with Child Protective Services, families with children at-risk of abuse and neglect, low-income families, and families with children who have special needs. Approval of this board order will allow the continued provisions of these childcare services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not receive funding to operate this childcare program.

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.
