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. BACKGROUND: The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program is operated by the Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department. The Economic Opportunity Council (EOC) is an advisory body for this program. In March 2007 the Department and EOC conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify potential contractors to assist the department in carrying out the Community Action Plan goals for FY 2007. The City of Richmond's Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) was a successful bidder in the RFP. This proposed agreement will provide funds for up to 39 economically disadvantaged youth to have employment opportunities and case management services in the Richmond area. This meets the overall goals of the Community Action Program, which are to assist individuals and families to economic self-sufficiency.
