Subject:2011 Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) revenue contract, amendment 3
BACKGROUND:
As the County's Community Action Agency, the Department's Community Services Bureau
regularly receives Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to operate
self-sufficiency programs under the advisement of the County's Economic Opportunity
Council (EOC). The funding amount is based on the County’s low-income population which
meets federal poverty guidelines. The initial award, accepted by the Board on January 18,
2011, was a partial allocation based on the partial grant award received by the State from
the federal government for CSBG. A subsequent amendment was approved by the Board on
March 1, 2011 to accept an additional funds ($161,048) from the State.
The board approved an amendment on May 24, 2011 to accept the next allocation of
$64,570. This amendment accepts another allocation of $321,956 to bring the contract
payment limit to $672,472 for the 2011 program year.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, key elements of community based activities will be inadequately funded.
These include:
• Opportunity Junction – CSBG funds provides for 45 low-income CC residents to enroll in
their Job Training and Placement program, receive case management and therapeutic
services in addition to life skills, computers skills, business English and math training.
• HSD Homeless Program Calli House – CSBG funds provide services for at least 100
unduplicated homeless youth. Rejecting the board order would cause Calli House to reduce
services such as: health exams; family reunification services; temp/transitional/permanent
housing as well as reducing the number of clients they serve.
• Contra Costa Clubhouse – CSBG funds provides services for a minimum of 144 program
participants. Services such as the pre-vocational skill training; case management; general
clubhouse support would significantly decrease.
• City of Richmond – Richmond Summer Youth Employment Program – CSBG funds
provide summer employment for 50 at risk youth. Without the funding the program would
have 50 less participants
• Assistant Trainee Program – CSBG funds supports 8 low-income community residents
with obtaining the skills necessary for permanent employment through on-the-job training.
This program would be eliminated if the board order was rejected.
