RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a revenue agreement amendment (CAPP-1009 Amendment-2) with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), to increase the payment limit by $522,193 to a new payment limit of $8,058,703, for an increase in the Regional Market Rate (RMR) in FY 21-22 to the Childcare Alternative Payment Programs, with no change in the term.

APPROVE Fiscal Year 2021/22 Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5071 authorizing additional revenue from CDSS in the amount of $522,193 to the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Service Bureau (0589), for an increase in the RMR in FY 21-22 to the Childcare Alternative Payment Programs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action is to adjust estimated revenue and appropriated expenditures based on additional funding approved by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) Child Care and Development Division. County is to receive an increase of $522,193, resulting in a new agreement amount not to exceed $8,058,703.

State Contract Number: CAPP-1009-02
County Contract Number: 29-212-46

BACKGROUND:

The County receives funds from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to provide California Alternative Payment Program (CAPP) to program-eligible families for children ages 0-12 years old. Families must meet at least one of these eligibility criteria to meet program eligibility: receiving cash aid, income eligible, experiencing homelessness, or recipients of protective services or at risk of being abused, neglected or exploited, and have an established need for child care.

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notification of amendment from CDSS on May 18, 2022, to amend Agreement Number CAPP-1009 (Amendment 2). The amendment reflects the changes to the Regional Market Rate (RMR) ceilings increase effective January 1, 2022 per Assembly Bill 131, Chapter 116, Statutes of 2021, Section 3.

The original revenue agreement was approved by the Board on July 13, 2021 (C. 48). The first amendment to increase payment limit from $4,287,288 to $7,536,510 was approved by the Board on February 1, 2022 (C. 44). This board order is to accept additional funds from the State in the amount of $522,193 to a new payment limit of $8,058,703 and to adjust the FY 21-22 budget.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, program eligible families and children will not receive child care under this program and appropriations and estimated revenues will not be properly reflected in the FY 21/22 budget.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three (3) 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.
