RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Community Services and Development to increase the payment limit by $56,411 to a new limit $895,369 and extending the term from December 31, 2018 to May 31, 2019, to provide Community Services Block Grant program services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County will receive a pass-through of federal funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development. There is no County match requirement. The CFDA # is 93.569. The State contract number is 18F-5007, Amendment 1. The County contract number is 39-813-47.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (Department) received notification of funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development on September 25, 2017. As the County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity Council (EOC). The funding amount is based on the County’s low-income population, which meets federal poverty guidelines. The Board approved receipt of funds on October 17, 2017 (Item C.75). This board order is to accept an amendment for additional funds during the 2018 program year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Employment and Human Services Department will be hampered in its ability to operate self-sufficiency programs in the community, and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations.

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.
