CA CSD/CSBG Amend 1 (39-813-16) April 8, 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 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.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 2008 the Board authorized the Department to accept funds from the
California Department of Community Services and Development in support of the
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program which is operated by the
Department's Community Services Bureau. The funding amount is based on the
County's low-income population which meets federal poverty guidelines. The initial
award was a partial allocation until the State budget process was further resolved. This
amendment now funds the remainder of the County's allocation from the State for
CSBG for this fiscal year.
