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 award approved on January 13, 2015 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 remainder of the 2015 allocation. 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.
