Subject:2011-12 Low-Income Housing Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding / Amend 3
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and weatherization program for eligible County
residents. The Board approved receipt of funding for 2011/12 on March 15, 2011. The
Board approved amendment #1 on April 12, 2011 to increase the payment limit as the state
routinely releases partial funding at contract onset to be followed by additional allocations
as the program year progresses.
A contract amendment was approved by the Board on May 3, 2011 to accept a new Exhibit
B (Payment Provisions) to describe procedures for the County to obtain advance working
capital for major purchases on behalf of the weatherization program. This amendment adds
funds in the amount of $775,913 to the contract.
Approval of this agreement will allow the continued provision of LIHEAP and
weatherization services to program-eligible households in Contra Costa County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the Department will not receive funding to operate LIHEAP in Contra
Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment & Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau energy
program supports one Contra Costa County community outcome - Outcome #4: "Families
that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing." This outcome is supported by the provision of home
energy assistance to keep households warm in winter and to increase household energy
efficiency.
