Contra Costa also receives funds from California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. The Board approved receipt of funds from ACF on September 16, 2008. The receipt of funds from CDE was approved on July 7, 2009. In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. Approval of this contract will allow the provision of Head Start program enhancement services to twenty (20) program eligible children and families; Early Head Start enhancement services to fourteen (14) program eligible children and families. Part-day State Preschool services will be provided to forty (40) program eligible children; full-day State Preschool services will be provided to twenty (20) program eligible children. State Pre-kindergarten family literacy services will be provided to forty (40) program eligible children and families. State General Childcare and Development services will be provided to sixteen (16) program eligible children. Given the current State budget crisis, it is feasible that the State funded portion of the contract may be subject to reduction, based on the outcome of the State budget process. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: 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.
