SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK
GRANT POVERTY PROGRAM SERVICES.
SPECIFIC REQUESTS)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Director or designee to issue a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for poverty program services under the Community Services Block Grant for the
period from January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County funding is required. The RFP is federally funded through the State Department of
Community Services and Development.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
As a designated Community Action Agency (CAA), the Contra Costa County Community Services
Department is eligible for federal Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funds. CSBG funds
must be used to promote the statewide priority of Family Self-Sufficiency. In order to best serve
the diverse needs of the County's low-income population, the County subcontracts with
community-based organizations to provide self-sufficiency programs and emergency services for
eligible county individuals and families. Approximately $101,000 will be available to
subcontractors under this RFP.
On September 11, 1997, the Economic Opportunity Council, which provides oversight to the
CSBG program, recommended that a formal RFP process be established for the recruitment of
future CSBG subcontractors. This RFP will be discussed with County Counsel and Risk
Management prior to its issuance. The Economic Opportunity Council will be presented with the
RFP for approval at its October 9, 1997 regularly scheduled meeting.
