RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a revenue contract with the California Department of Social Services in the amount of $4,869,906 to provide childcare and development programs (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids [CalWORKs] Stage 2) for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement is funded by the California Department of Education and no County match is required. The State funding number is C2AP 1008-00; County number is 29-213-39.
This contract is 21.8% ($1,063,180) funded by Federal dollars passed through the State Department of Education [CFDA #93.575], and 78.2% ($3,806,726) funded by the State.

BACKGROUND:

The Department received notification on June 4, 2021 from California Department of Education on behalf of the California Department of Social Services for the 2021-22 funding allocation for alternative payment/CalWORKs Stage 2 childcare services. 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). 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. This board resolution is to accept funds from the State.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not have funds to operate 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.
