This funding flows through the State of California via the California Department of Community Services and Development and is available through competitive application to the State's Community Action agencies. The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau administers the county's Community Action program and seeks to submit a funding application. The program objectives for this funding include the Community Services Assistant Trainee program, Employment & Human Services Volunteer and Emergency Services, Contra Costa County Summer Youth Employment, City of Richmond Summer Youth Employment Program, and Co-operative Micro-enterprise Development program. The Board of Supervisors accepted this funding on June 23, 2009. The Board approved an amendment #1 on November 10, 2009 to clarify reporting requirements, as mandated by the State. This amendment #2 further clarifies reporting requirements by increasing expenditure report payment options, modifying client data reports and extending the deadline for the close-out report.
