RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment & Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of the East Bay in an amount not to exceed $967,632 to provide Head Start Program Enhancement services for the term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is entirely federally funded by Administration for Children and Families with CFDA No. 93.600. There are no County costs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early 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. Approval of this contract will allow provision of 180 program slot / Head Start and Early Head Start services to program eligible children and families in Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and 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.
