RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/555 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contact with California Department of Aging (Agreement
SP-1920-07) in an amount not to exceed $103,434 for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education services for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is entirely funded by federal funds (CFDA 10.561), by the Unites States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education services could not be provided by Employment and Human Services to low-income seniors in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND:

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) funding is used to improve the health of low-income seniors through exercise and better nutrition education. The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) designs and provides nutrition information programs. Through the SNAP-Ed Program, EHSD provides year long low-income seniors sites for nutrition information classes at senior centers and congregate meal sites throughout the County. In addition, nutrition education materials are distributed to County seniors who receive Meals on Wheels food services.
