ATTESTED: March 13, 2012 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Carrie Del Bonta, Deputy cc: Cassandra Youngblood, Joann Denardo, Sam Mendoza C.38 To:Board of Supervisors From:Joe Valentine, Employment & Human Services Director Date:March 13, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:2012 Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) revenue contract, Amend 1 BACKGROUND: The Department received notification of funding from California Department of Community Services and Development on December 12, 2011. 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 for the 2012 program year was a partial allocation based on the partial grant award received by the State from the federal government for CSBG. This board order accepts the balance of the 2012 allocation for Contra Costa County. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved, the Department will be hampered in its ability to meet the needs of the community and to establish partnerships with community based agencies and public organizations. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports 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, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
