additional funding has provided Increased services for more vigilant enforcement of boating
regulations and identification of derelict boats for removal. However, the state funding has not
increased in several years. An increase is being sought to fund COLA and contractual personnel
service costs for the seven Deputies in the Unit.

increase in County costs to maintain existing service levels.

8. STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. As Grantee, Contra Costa County operates the Head Start
Program, which is administered by the Community Services Department. Personnel requirements
and costs are outlined in the budget summary. Hiring of new staff will be required for the delivery
of services and will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The Contra Costa
County General Services Architectural Services Division will be responsible for design and
management of the construction projects proposed and any and all subcontractors utilized.
9. PROGRAM NEED. A Community Needs Assessment conducted in part by the agency shows that
Child Care Services are needed for the low-income population in Contra Costa County as well as
the CalWORKs participants. Of the 11,328 Head Start eligible children (including 3,296 children
whose parents are participants of Welfare-to-Work), 1,659 are served in the Head Start program.
Food services, immunizations and job referrals are needed as well, which Head Start provides to
children and families in Family Partnerships. With this program, the Contra Costa County
Administration will support the desired outcome for family health and self-sufficiency.
10. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROGRAMS. The program interfaces with the county's
CalWORKs program providing much needed childcare. The program also interfaces with the
Health Services Department Child Health and Disabilities Prevention Program for early
identification and prevention of child illness and disabilities. Duplication of efforts is eliminated
through monthly communications between the program and staff exchange on advisory boards and
committees. The Head Start project has numerous interagency agreements with community-based
organizations to eliminate other duplications of efforts.
11. PROJECT GOALS.
The Grantee Operated Program goals are:
A. Provide full-day, full-year Head Start Services to an additional 120 children and families.
B. Utilize a Single Point of Access to comprehensive services for Head Start families.
C. Fully utilize and develop all resources through formal collaborations, to provide seamless
services to families.
D. Combine existing services and resources with expansion funds for cost effective and high
quality family services.
The Delegate Agency Program Goals are:
• Offer full-day, full-year comprehensive services to an additional 60 children and their families.
12. STATED OBJECTIVES.
The Grantee Operated Program objectives are:
A. Install three new modular facilities by August 2001.
B. Enroll an additional 120 Head Start eligible children and families in the Richmond, Concord
and Bay Point areas by September 2001.
C. Identify parent's needs related to full-day, full-year childcare services. Complete 120 related
Family Partnership Agreements by September 2001.
D. Utilize the Single Point of Access to Child Health and Development Services and the new intake
process for these services.
E. Utilize the Single Point of Access to Community Partnerships and Resources and the new intake
process for these services.
3
F. Ensure a user-friendly program based on seamless services to families through the Single Point
of Contact to all Community Services Department resources and related
partnerships/collaborations.
G. Ensure a management system based on fiscal accountability and programmatic achievement.
The Delegate Agency objectives are.
« To offer full-day, full-year Head Start services in the downtown Pittsburg area where there is a
desperate need for these services.
13. ACTIVITY SUMMARY. Contra Costa County Head Start responds to these goals with a Service
Integration model including all departmental services and establishing direct recruitment/enrollment
linkage to the offices of the Social Services Department. "Child Start" offers a service integration
model for CalWORKs clients, offering immediate crisis intervention for CaIWORKs/Head Start
families in moments of need. The staff's cultural competency in understanding the families' needs
offers a unique solution to meeting the needs of underserved and unserved populations.
14. EVALUATION METHOD(S). Head Start Performance measures are based on continuous data
tracking of children and families through the "Child Plus" software system including unit-of-
service
nit-ofservice costs, an annual Program Review, an annual client satisfaction survey, an annual parent
interests and needs survey, and annual Program Information Report. In addition, the program is
initiating outcome, performance based measures linked to the Head Start Performance Measures.
15. CHANGES COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR (if any). Program expands by $3,778,523 serving
120 additional children full-day, full--year through the Grantee Operated Program and 60 additional
children full-day, full-year through the Delegate Agency. A total of 180 additional children will be
served on a full-day, full-year basis.
16. POTENTIAL CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES. Public reception of Head Start over the past three
years has been positive. Expansion of services in the County and developing new community
partnerships will foster this public image.
