The Aute Loan Program initiated through this contract last year has turned successful results as well. The Auto Loan Program is targeted toward those CaIWORKs participants employed for a minimum of three (3) months; have the ability to make the loan payments as part of a monthly budget; have a demonstrated need for the automobile to maintain employment; and, have been unable to obtain an auto loan through conventional means. The loans are facilitated by a collaborative effort of the EHSD transportation project staff and the Contra Costa FederalCredit Union as the financial partner to the Program. Upon referral from EHSD transportation staff and clearance by the loan committee, the financial partner issues the loan utilizing funding from this contract, which establishes the loan fund, and takes a lien on the title to the vehicle. Monthly payments are made directly to the financial partner who will re-credit the loan fund. The successful CaIWORKs participant acquires transportation and develops a positive credit rating.

Services under this contract directly support all five community outcomes identified in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing"; 5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families." BACKGROIJND! FamiliesFirst, Inc. operates the county's Shared Family Care program, a family mentoring program that provides assistance to families who experience multiple barriers and continue to struggle in the family court system. Services include counseling, information and referral and educational advocacy. The 2002/03 contract was reduced to a 6-month period (July— December) as a result of budget cuts in TANF funding. Additional funding of$45,000 was later secured to allow EHSD to renew the contract for another 6 months (through June 30, 2003) to ensure continuity of these services to families in Contra Costa County. The additional funds of$169,791 represent the unspent funds on the first six-month contract, which will now be rolled over to the current contract, thereby increasing the total payment limit to $214,791. These funds are already included in the EHSD 2002/03 budget.
