CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment and Human Services Department’s Community Action program supports
two of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: “Children Ready for and Succeeding
in School” and “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are
achieved by offering comprehensive services through the Community Services Block Grant
program, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to
low-income children, as well as self-sufficiency programs and emergency services for
eligible county individuals and families throughout Contra Costa County.
