RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an Interagency Service Agreement between the Community Services Bureau (CSB) and First 5 Contra Costa (F5CC) and accept the payment limit of $610,000 to coordinate and administer a Family Support program for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, and AUTHORIZE the Chair of Board of Supervisors to sign the Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Agreement is funded 100% by federal funds from the First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission. There is no county match. CFDA# 93.600.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Agreement is to provide support to local programs and services designed to assist children through development and comprehensive services. CSB has a long-standing partnership with First 5, in which both CSB and F5CC have been sustaining home-based support services for Contra Costa parents and their children.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

CSB will utilize F5CC resources to oversee the implementation of the F5CC home visiting program model and to increase the number of children served by the Early Head Start home-based support services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

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.
