BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County submits an application annually to U.S. Health and Human Services Department,
Administration for Children and Families as the Head Start grantee. This board order presents an opportunity for the
County to apply for supplemental, one-time funds to support cost-of-living adjustments as mandated by the Head
Start Act.
The funding term will be a six month period of July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The funding application
was submitted to the Office of Head Start, in the Administration for Children and Families division of the Department
of Health & Human Services on April 16, 2012. The Policy Council approved the grant application on March 21,
2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County will not receive additional funding for Early Head Start program.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Head Start program 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.
