CHII.DRF.N'S IMPACT STATEMENT
Services under this contract directly support three community outcomes identified in the Contra Costa
Children's Report Card: (3) "Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient", (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable
and Nurturing" (5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families",
by providing refugee case management and employment services to assist families in obtaining and sustaining
non-subsidized employment.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County has experienced an 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 speak 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 expire and therefore, will 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.
