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.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department
applied for the Asset Building program through a request for proposal (RFP) conducted
by the California Department of Community Services and Development. Funds from
this project will assist the operation of the Earn It! Keep It! Save It! (EKS) Campaign,
helping low-income families claim the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
Approval of this agreement will provide asset building services to approximately 2000
program eligible Contra Costa residents.
