RFP# 1105 (Community Services Block Grant) October 14, 2008
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 2: "Children and Youth are Healthy and
Preparing for Productive Adulthood," 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. The Community Services Block Grant fund is targeted towards
assisting individuals and families to economic self-sufficiency through a variety of
programs.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 2008 the Board approved receipt of Community Services Block Grant
funds (Agreement 39-813-15) from California Department of Community Services and
Development for the purpose of supporting the goals and objectives identified in the
2008-09 Community Action Plan (CAP).
This board order seeks to establish a Request for Proposal (RFP) #1105 to solicit
proposals from community based agencies to assist the department in reaching the
economic self-sufficiency goals identified in the CAP. The following areas were
identified as priorities and will form the basis of the competitive RFP:
1) Employment at livable wages
2) Safe and affordable housing
3) Supportive development of at-risk youth
The period of funding for selected programs will be April 1, 2009 through March 31,
2010 with the option for a 1-year renewal pending the availability of funds and the
provision of quality services as determined by the Community Services Bureau and the
County Economic Opportunity Council's on-going monitoring and evaluation of the
programs through site-visits and data collection.
