Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve renewal of Grant Agreement GRA-STATE-16-0785-01-Y3 for Child Care Health Consultant (CCHC) Program funded by First Things First between the Grantor and Cochise Health & Social Services in the amount of $104,600 for the period of 07/1/17 – 06/30/18, which is an increase of $2,340 from the $102,260 at the end of FY 2016-17.
Background:
This renewal is to continue funding that will be used to provide CCHC services to 38 childcare Quality First (First Things First) centers, four of which receive additional funds from the Federal Pre-School Development Block Grant in Cochise County (Douglas, Willcox and Benson).
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The goal of First Things First in Cochise County (from the Tobacco Tax Funds) is to increase quality of childcare in the 0 to 5 year old population, ensure a successful transition to Kindergarten and the health and safety of children in this age group. If we do not accept this grant, children will not receive the services of Child Care Health Consultants (two CCHCs who work part time to cover the County) and a valuable resource to the children, teachers, Director and parents will be lost.
