SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to SUBMIT CalWORKs Plan Revisions for fiscal year 1999-2000, to the California Department',of Social Services. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Contra Costa County's CalWORKs allocation for fiscal year 1999-2000 is $25,117,811, of which the County maintenance of effort share, which is fully budgeted, is $4,126,052. The proposed plan changes may slightly shift allotments between the categories of Administration., welfare to Mork Employment services, Child Care, and Cal Learn, but will not change the County's allocation or maintenance of,effort share. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The plan revisions support three community outcomes: "Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient"; "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families." Integrating education and children's services into comprehensive Welfare to Work plans ensures that participants can take advantage of available work opportunities. CalWORKs, the "California Fork Opportunity and Responsibility to Fids" Act, was implemented January 1, 1935. Contra Costa County implemented Welfare to Work on March 10, 1995 to provide employment services to CalWORKs cash assistance recipients. EHSD seeks to change the existing place as follows: 1. Revise Allowable Work Activities Under Welfare to Work To the extent permitted by law, EHSD must make work opportunities available to participants. EHSD has included activities related to education and children's services, which will benefit families by creating integrated plans to enable parents to work. The original plan inadvertently excluded subsidized work as are allowable work activity and included support work, which is a grant diversion activity. These changes will expand the means by which families become self-'sufficient. 2. Add a Pian to Work with the Larger Community on Welfare to Work Grants EHSD currently works with outside agencies receiving Welfare to Work grants through the Department of Labor and.the California Employment Development Department to develop programs benefiting CalWORKs participants. The new section deals with the eligibility process and how EHSD interacts with outside agencies to create opportunities for CalWORKs participants.
