RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Aspiranet, a nonprofit corporation, with a payment limit not to exceed $388,800 to provide Early Head Start Program Enhancement service for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Federal funds / CFDA 93.708
Grant source is Administration for Children and Families (Head Start Program).

No County match.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

38-957-2

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 board order establishes a contract with Aspiranet to provide Home-based Early Head Start service to 81 pregnant women and/or children ages birth to three years old.

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.
