Title
Human Services Department, Community Services Division, recommending Chairman be authorized to sign the Community Services Block Grant 2008/2009 Program Year Community Action Plan for submission to the California Department of Community Services and Development to provide a planning document for funding and outlining proposed activities six months prior the the beginning of the next Community Services Block Grant funding cycle.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve.
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: No change. This document is essentially a planning tool to meet federal and state requirements. Actual CSBG funding continues to be linked to a budgetary and contract process.
Reason for Recommendation: The California Department of Community Services and Development requires all community action agencies to submit a planning document that constitutes an application for funding and outlines proposed activities six months prior to the beginning of the next Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding cycle (1/1/08). The CAP addresses goals, program activities and outcome measures for two contract years. The program activities, delivery strategies and outcome measures in the document closely reflect the ongoing activities of the Community Services Division of Human Services, which are approved through separate contract processes throughout the year. The Community Action Council approved the CAP at their regular meeting of May 30, 2007. A summary of the CAP is attached. Due to its volume, the complete document is not attached; however, a hard copy is on file with the Board Clerk.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Board Clerk to provide Human Services, Community Services Division, with two (2) copies of the cover sheet signed by the Chairman for submission of the 2008/2009 Community Services Block Grant Community Action Plan.
