ECC SparkPoint
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
envisions a future where all ECC families are able to achieve and maintain financial
stability. The ECC SparkPoint mission focuses on providing services that will help families
improve credit scores, reduce debt, build income, and build and save assets.
The SparkPoint concept is the integration of services, which historically have been
delivered independently by service providers. SparkPoint builds upon research indicating
that the combined impact of services when they are provided together as an integrated
whole is much greater than when those same services are provided by organizations acting
independently. Partners to the MOU will provide integrated services and have developed a
set of values and core design principles to guide their ongoing interaction and service
integration to realize their joint vision and mission.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
East Contra Costa SparkPoint service delivery strategies could not be implemented and
integrated service delivery would be curtailed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The East Contra Costa SparkPoint program will support three of the community outcomes
established in the Children's Report Card: (3) "Families that are Economically Self
Sufficient"; (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and, (5) "Communities that
are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families" by providing
support and guidance to families to achieve financial stability.
