The funding term will be a six month period of July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The funding application is due to the Office of Head Start, in the Administration for
Children and Families division of the Department of Health & Human Services on April 30,
2010.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s
Head Start program 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.
