and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start program services to program eligible County
residents. Through the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) the
County received additional Early Head Start funding to provide Early Head Start program
enhancment services. The Department contracts with a number of community-based
organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. Approval of this contract will
allow the provision of Early Head Start services to program eligible children and families in
the Contra Costa County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability
through partnership with community based agencies.

three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and,
