APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to
EXECUTE a contract(#21-585-6)with Contra Costa County Office of Education in the amount of$39,169 for

$39,169 Refugee Employment Social Service(KESS) Funds; 100%Federal. No County Match.
Services under this contract directly support two community outcomes identified in the Contra.Costa Children's
Report Card: "Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient", and "Families that are Safe, Stable and
Nurturing"by providing refugee case management and employment services to assist families in obtaining and
sustaining non-subsidized employment.
RAC.`iKt xRIJUND!
Contra Costa County has experienced a significant increase in the Refugee Cash Assistance(RCA)program
caseload. These refugees are difficult to serve as they come from several countries in Africa,Asia,Eastern
Europe and the Middle East and speark a variety of languages. 'Without intensive language supported
employment services, it is anticipated they will not become self-sufficient by the time their 8-month time-
limited eligibility for federal RCA benefits expires and therefore,become dependent on the County General
Assistance Program.
The Contra Costa County Department of Education provides services to recipients of Refugee Cash Assistance,
including but not limited to,case management, interpreter services,referral to ESL,/training resources,job
search assistance,job placement, referral and assistance in obtaining social security benefits,training and work
transportation assistance, and advocacy services. The goal of the program is to assist newly arrived refugees to
become self-sufficient through employment.
In addition to refugee employment services, the KESS funding includes up to $2,000 for purposes of
coordinating an annual public event to celebrate the achievements of refugees, raise awareness of the
contributions refugees have made to the community, and promote the Refugee Resettlement Program in
California.
