SUBJECT: HEAD START INCOME ELIGIBILITY
SPECIFIC REQUESTS}OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
ACCEPT report from the Community Services Department on the current Status of Head Start
income eligibility in Contra Costa County.
Fiscal Impact:
None
Background:
Childcare affordability is a challenge for families in Contra Costa County. Head Start and Early
Head Start income eligibility is indexed to the Federal Poverty Guidelines, and must be considered
in the context of the costs associated with living in Contra Costa County. For a single parent with
one preschool child the poverty guideline is $12,490. Minimum wage in California is $5.75 per hour
and exceeds the poverty guideline by only $1,550 per year. The Self-sufficiency standard for this
same family living in Contra Costa County is $42,705.
Head Start Standards allow that only ten percent of total federally funded childcare slots may be
filled by over income families. Therefore, the Community Services Department may only fill 182
slots with families that exceed the Federal Poverty Guidelines. The ten per cent ceiling imposes a
hardship on families living in Contra Costa County, and the Community Services Department
supports an effort to raise the ceiling to 15 per cent, acknowledging the additional burden that the
cost of living places on County residents. The Community Services Department will continue its
efforts to educate lawmakers as Congress continues its effort to produce Head Start authorization
legislation in the next session.

Addendum to SD.5
October 12, 2004
On this day the Board accepted a report from the Community Services
Department on the current status of Head Start income eligibility in Contra
Costa County, as recommended by the Family and Human Services
Committee. The presentation was made by Ed Lerman, Analyst on
Community Assessment for 2004.
Supervisor Uilkema expressed concern for our own employees and the
importance of them having childcare.
After further discussions, the Board took the following actions:
• ACCEPTED the report from the Community Services Department on
the current status of Head Start income eligibility in Contra Costa
County;
• REQUESTED that the legislative agenda both at the State and Federal
levels be modified by raising the ceiling to 15%;
• REQUESTED the Family and Human Services Committee to explore
the suggestion of permitting Contra Costa County employees who
wanted a safe place for their kids and were willing to pay to
supplement the County Headstart Centers by placing their children in
the Centers for paid childcare services.
The motion was made by Supervisor DeSaulnier and seconded by
Supervisor Gioia.
The motion was approved by unanimous decision.
