FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
The CCFuture Fund was created in 2003 when the Board of Supervisors (Board)
earmarked the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from the Renaissance/Club Sport Hotel
in the unincorporated Contra Costa Centre area for early intervention and prevention
programs that reduce the high cost of crisis/safety net services. The mission of the
CCFuture Fund is to: "....invest in programs and services that are result-based,
family-oriented, collaborative, and available at critical points in the lives of children and
families, thereby improving family functioning and reducing the high costs of
dependency."
CCFuture Fund 2nd Cohort
In January 2009, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a 2nd Cohort was issued. The focus
of this second round of funding is to promote "family economic self-sufficiency and
improving economic outcomes for families." After evaluating applications from nine
agencies, the Board approved allocating funding to two agencies (Women's Initiative and
Catholic Charities). In the first year, $50,000 was provided to each agency for the
Planning/Program Development/Pilot Phase. Each agency has successfully completed
this phase, and requests $100,000 each in CCFuture Funds to implement their projects
during FY 2010/11.

Social Return on Investment (SROI) of $30 for every dollar invested. Outcomes to be
accomplished during FY 2010/11 and to achieve the stated SROI are:
10 women will launch local businesses.
3 existing businesses will increase sales.
15 women who were not earning an income before training will become employed
or self-employed.
14 new local jobs will be created.
6 women and their families living below the federal poverty line before training will

Monument Corridor.
125 women will enroll in My Business Action Plan (Mi Plan de Accion)
entrepreneurial readiness workshop.
