2010 Annual Report

Since 1965, CSB has been providing high quality services to Contra Costa County residents. As the Community Action designee for the county, CSB provides comprehensive Head Start and state funded childcare programs for families and children, ages 0-5; energy assistance and weatherization for thousands of families as well as CalWorks vouchers for welfare-to-work recipients. We are also a proud partner to dozens of non-profit community organizations that provide an array of services to families in need. CSB takes a comprehensive approach to childcare, providing not only high quality educational care to children and their families, but also physical health, nutritional, mental health, disabilities and school readiness services to the families we serve. I am proud that our program is known both locally and nationally as a program of quality and innovation. 2010 was an exciting year, one full of growth and opportunity. We received a $2.3 million grant to provide 170 additional Early Head Start (0-5) slots in underserved areas county-wide; a $250,000 grant to launch a new and innovative teacher mentoring program and over $300,000 in facility renovation funding. Our continued growth during these difficult economic times has allowed us to continue providing quality services to the families of Contra Costa County who now need it more than ever.

It’s easy to contact us, either for employment opportunities or to take advantage of the programs we offer.

Just stop by one of our centers or visit us on-line at www.cccounty.us/ehsd or for employment opportunities, call (925) 313-1777.

In June 2010, the Community Services Bureau was named one of the Top Workplaces in the Bay Area by the Bay Area Newsgroup. CSB ranked very highly compared to other companies in areas of staff training and development, opportunities for growth and learning, being well informed about what is going on in the organization, and feeling the organization does things efficiently and well.

The most recent triennial federal review was held in October 2009 with the following results:

Area of Strength in record-keeping and recording in area of work request and inventory tracking using technology;

Kindergarten Readiness

2010 Annual Report

Utilizing its diverse and gifted staff, consultants, and state and community resources, CSB has leveraged its funding to mount a variety of new initiatives and pilot projects during this program year to enhance its service delivery and improved school readiness. The following tasks have been accomplished:

In partnership with First 5 of Contra Costa County, the first Intentional Teaching Institute was developed by a consultant and presented to a selected group of CSB classroom and delegate teams, family day care providers, and mentors. The Intentional Teaching Institute is designed to increase the understanding of the CLASS domains and the mentoring process.

A second partnership with First 5, “Preschool Makes a Difference,” brought additional funded slots to the County, some of which were allocated to CSB sites.

Beautiful Stuff training and ongoing support was presented to all CSB staff and many of our delegate and partner staff as well. Designed by a consultant, it was implemented by the education team.

Other consultants were designated to provide environmental review and support, team building, positive teacher-child interactions, and increased competencies in instructional strategies.

A fourth consultant is in place to work exclusively with our Early Head Start classrooms in moving forward with best practices utilizing the Program for Infant/Toddler Caregiving (PITC) essential principles which are closely aligned with Head Start Performance Standards. This consultant’s expertise, coupled with an education team member with similar expertise, has made noticeable impact on the use of language and responsive caregiving in our classrooms.

After a year-long pilot study of the DECA early childhood screening and assessment instruments and strategies, we began full implementation of this research-based program in July. Partnering with Mills College’s School of Education, a graduate Infant Mental Health intern provided coordination and support for the pilot. Because of its strong parent component, it will further strengthen our family support systems and has shown itself to us to be an effective means of building teacher competencies in observation, assessment, planning and in language development as well.

The Learning through Literature program provides a quality children’s book each month to every classroom which includes curricular guidance and has been adopted by our partners at the West Contra Costa Unified School District.

12 sites are currently accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC): Balboa, Bayo Vista, Contra Costa College, Crescent Park, George Miller III, Lake, Las Deltas, Los Arboles, Marsh Creek, Martinez, Riverview and San Pablo. Additional sites are in the accreditation cycle with NAEYC utilizing a streamlined process created by our in-house education team.

CSB is working with WestEd, a premier education research and training institution, in conducting a three year program of focused mathematics instruction in CSB sites. This challenging effort, fully documented and complying with rigorous research protocols, has been met with cooperation and compliance by our site staff, supervisors, and with


15

2010 Annual Report

careful attention by our enrollment teams in order to maintain the integrity of the study. The process has raised awareness of the importance and process of research.

A partnership with the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) is in the first of a two year program to bring children in several of our sites into close contact with the outstanding and child-centered services and site experiences. The program benefits children and their families. Teachers conduct follow up to the BADM visits with classroom lessons and conversations that extend learning.

Child OutcomesCSB used the State Department of Education’s Desired Results Developmental Profile – Revised (DRDPr) to assess child outcomes. This tool provides scores across 10 theme areas as follows: 0 = Not Applicable, 1 = Not Yet, 2 = Exploring, 3 = Developing, 4 = Building and 5 = Integrating. The table below shows that children have made significant progress in all areas.

Parent InvolvementIt is important for parents to become involved in their child’s education and to increase skills as their child grows. CSB provides many opportunities for parents within our program including trainings, resources, and volunteer opportunities. Parent involvement activities provided opportunities in the following areas:

This year, CSB has begun three new initiatives:

Supporting Fathers InvolvementCSB has partnered with the Supporting Father Involvement Project to offer these workshops at Head Start centers. The Supporting Father Involvement (SFI) Project aims to positively increase fathers’ involvement in the life of a child and the lives of their families. The project combines the best thinking from UC Berkeley and Yale University on how to improve co-parent’s relationships. Staff from the community work with parents to build on existing strengths within the family that improve relationships and increase children’s success and well-being.

Couples and Co-parents who participate experience a series of classes facilitated by two professional and caring individuals; childcare and transportation; dinner for both parents and children; stipends for participating; long-term help from case managers to address issues faced by couples; improved communication between parents, co-parents, and caregivers around difficult issues of family life, couple relationships, parenting, managing finances, and other issues; increased bond between the child and father/father figure; and improved sense of partnership in managing the many challenges of family life.

Raising Emotionally Healthy ChildrenTwenty CSB staff has been certified as trainers in “Raising Emotionally Healthy Children.” The concepts in this program are based on the book written by Dr. Gerald Newmark and partners with our DECA assessment tool. Concepts can be used in the classroom, with parents, and at home to teach staff and parents about the five critical needs of children – the need to feel safe, the need to feel secure, the need to feel loved, the need to feel included and the need to feel respected.

Operation FrontlineCSB has partnered with Fresh Approach and Operation Frontline to offer cooking classes to parents at our Head Start centers. Classes are six weeks long for two hours each week and


15

2010 Annual Report

feature a nutrition lesson as well as live cooking instruction. The fresh produce and dried goods are provided by Fresh Approach through local farmers’ markets and each participant gets to take a bag of ingredients home each week to prepare the new meal at home for their family. There is also a shopping expedition on which participants learn how to properly read labels and purchase ingredients for a meal for four people on only ten dollars.

One session has been completed in West County and additional sessions are being offered in all areas of the County in early 2011.

CSB is also continuing our Grandparents Raising Head Start Grandchildren (G2g) program for the third year of its grant. The G2g program provides support to grandparents raising their grandchildren and offers individual mental health consultation services. CSB and Families First have collaborated to provide support groups, family emergency assistance, enrollment assistance and legal assistance with issues such as guardianship. This program is in the third and final year of its grant.

Comprehensive ServicesCSB continues to demonstrate high quality comprehensive services as evidenced by ongoing monitoring and the following data from the Program Information Report for the 2009-2010 Program Year.

Professional DevelopmentClassroom StaffCommunity Services Bureau classrooms are staffed by highly qualified teachers that are required to maintain a Child Development permit issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing in the classification they hold. In addition to the permit, 36% of teachers have an Associate Degree and almost 40% possess a Bachelor’s Degree.

Comprehensive Services Staff

Our Comprehensive Services Team includes content area experts in education, health, nutrition, mental health, disabilities, community partnerships, parent involvement, and other social services identified as a need in our communities. All content area experts possess at least a Bachelor’s Degree relevant to their area of services.

Approach to Training

CSB believes that training and technical assistance (T&TA) is critical to meeting and exceeding the Head Start Performance Standards, realizing program goals and objectives, determining priorities based on data and systems analysis, and continuous improvement as an agency. Ongoing training opportunities are available to all staff as identified in their professional development plan, program-wide training needs assessments and bureau initiatives that support the delivery of comprehensive program operations. Bilingual support services for educational advancement are provided, as well as, on-the-job mentoring at all levels of the organization.

2010 Annual Report

Teacher Degree Program (TDP)To meet the staff qualification requirements of the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007, additional T&TA dollars have been requested to help support teachers in obtaining a bachelor degree by September 30, 2013. One TDP program includes a partnership with California State University Sacramento and CSB. This collaborative effort has led to the development of a CSB cohort of 14 staff that will take courses over a two-and-a-half period of time to complete a Bachelor of the Arts in Child Development: Early Development, Care and Education.

Teacher Assistant Trainee Program (TAT)The “Teacher Assistant Trainee” (TAT) program is an 18-month career advancement program designed to prepare parents and community members for a profession in Early Childhood Education (ECE.) Program participants complete 12 ECE units and become eligible for an Associate Teacher Permit.

Weatherization2010 was a transformational year for the CSB Weatherization Programs. While CSB has had weatherization contracts for many years, 2010 saw a significant increase in funding as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Bureau’s Department of Energy ARRA contract brought $1,682,564 to Contra Costa County. In partnership with the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development’s Building Inspection unit, CSB was able to weatherize 428 residential units occupied by low income residents; including major measures as heating and cooling systems repairs and replacements, hot water heaters, window replacement, as well as minor measures such as weather-stripping, and hot water flow restrictors.

The Bureau’s LIHEAP weatherization program funded at $1,158,806 was able to serve 637 low income and vulnerable homes, including measures such as caulking, attic insulation, kitchen appliance replacement, and thermostat replacement. Due to the leveraging of these funding sources, over 1,000 households now enjoy the benefits of a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

2010 Annual Report

Community Services Bureau’s (CSB’s) Community Action Partnership (CAP) is a public organization established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to assist with fighting America's War on Poverty. CAP helps people to help themselves in achieving self-sufficiency and economic stability through the provision of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG). We meet the needs of the community and achieve our goals by partnering with community members; establishing and fostering community partnerships; developing and adapting new and innovative initiatives and working with other community-based and public organizations to leverage funding.

On average, CCC CAP provides services to over 4,000 individuals and families per year. However, during 2010, CCC CAP provided services to an unprecedented number of individuals and families due to the support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Community Action Supportive Partners and ProgramsDuring 2010, the following community based-organizations and public agencies were funded by CSBG to support the target areas as defined by the strategic plan:

Contra Costa County Health Services, Homeless Program, Calli House, an emergency shelter for homeless youth ages 14 to 21.

Opportunity Junction operates a Job Training and Placement Program (JTPP) for low-income residents with multiple barriers.

City of Richmond – Richmond Summer Youth Employment Program (RSYEP), provides outreach and recruitment services youth ages 14 to 21.

The Contra Costa Clubhouses, a peer support and vocation rehabilitation service for adult mental health consumers.

Clerical Assistant Trainee Program (CAT), an entry-level job training program for low-income individuals.

2010 Major Initiatives for Community Action Partnership


15

2010 Annual Report

SparkPoint CCC CAP is an integral partner in the development of an anti-poverty SparkPoint Center in Bay Point. SparkPoint Centers are family-friendly places where hard-working, low-income people can access a full range of services to help them get out of poverty and achieve long-term financial stability. Services focus on three areas: improving credit, increasing income and building assets. The Bay Point SparkPoint team: The United Way of the East Bay, EHSD East County Residents and various Community Based Organizations are in the planning/development stages and will begin offering core services by February 2011.

Community Action Partnership – A Change AgentCCC CAP is partnering with other CAP’s in effort to spread the word about Community Action: what we do and who we serve. Community Action has been coined as the “best kept secret” and this partnership strives to reveal the “secret”. During 2010, CCC CAP and Sonoma CAP jointly presented at the 2010: A New Decade of Hope for Children and Families in Richmond. The presentation included an overview of Community Action Agencies as well as a discussion about the effectiveness of collaborations. 2011 promises to bring many more collaborative opportunities, such as this one.

Workforce Development ProgramsDuring 2010 Community Action assumed the oversight of many workforce development programs, all focused on promoting self-sufficiency. In collaboration with other Employment and Human Services Department Bureau’s, CSB has employed over 100 people through several Workforce Development programs:

Summer Youth Program Subsidized Employment Training (SET) - workers placed throughout the Bureau

in various capacities: Clerical Assistant, Building Service Worker, Teaching Assistant and Nutrition Assistant (this was an ARRA funded program and no longer available)

Clerical Assistant Trainee (CAT) Senior Work Experience Program Work Experience Program (One-Stop Centers) Cal. State University East Bay, Undergraduate Sociology Internship Program

Investment into the Community – Community Services Block Grant and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

In 2009, CSB/CAP was awarded 1.2 million dollars through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The majority of the services provided with the ARRA dollars began in 2010, with approximately 84% of the dollars reinvested into public and community-based organizations:


15

2010 Annual Report

With the CSBG ARRA funds:

A Clean and Green House Cleaning and Homes Services Co-Operative, an Urban Farming Co-Operative and a Bakery Co-Operative was developed – providing self-employment for approximately 48 individuals primarily located in the monument corridor.

250 youth gained valuable work experience and received case management through the summer months

15 Head Start Parents worked part-time/full-time as Clerical Assistants, attended various work related training and maintained at least one college course through the duration of the program (*this program has continued despite the ending of the ARRA funding)

17 positions that were in jeopardy were retained at Opportunity Junction

10 emancipated foster youth gained valuable work experience and transferable skills.

Overall, Community Action and its partners created 323 jobs for unemployed, low-income individuals. Below are a few other ARRA success statistics:

The Economic Opportunity CouncilThe Economic Opportunity Council (EOC), a tri-partite advisory council for Contra Costa County, works jointly with CSB and CAP in developing a Community Action and Strategic Plan that guides the use of Community Services Block Grant funds. EOC members are committed to carrying out the vision, mission and Promise of CAP and are fully engaged in community-based activities, events, and initiatives that focus on the identified areas of priority. In addition to advocating on behalf of the low-income sector and providing a voice to those that might not be heard, the EOC engaged in many exciting volunteer opportunities during 2010. EOC members came together to serve dinner at a local homeless shelter as well as provide dessert; create gift bags with life necessities for 25 formerly incarcerated pregnant or parenting moms; and supported Project Homeless Connect, the county’s largest service provider event for homeless individuals and families, by serving breakfast.

EOC members have a General meeting every 2nd Thursday of the month. The position is a voluntary, term-limited, non-compensated position. New members are always welcome to join in our fight against poverty!

Stage 2 Alternative Payment Programs

CSB administers the CalWORKS Stage 2 and CAPP Child Care Alternative Payment Programs for Contra Costa County. These programs are designed to maximize parental choice in selecting child care that meets the needs of the child and family. Parents may select child care services from licensed centers, licensed family child care homes, license-exempt or in-home providers. The age limit for child care through these programs is 0-12 years of age (age limit may be extended under certain limited circumstances).

The CalWORKs child care program is limited to those parents who are in receipt of or have received CalWORKs cash assistance within the last 2 years. The CAPP program funding is limited to families referred to CSB by Child Protective Services or At-Risk of abuse and neglect.

Once accepted into the Stage 2/CAPP program, the CSB unit staff assists families with child care supportive services and makes timely reimbursements to the child care providers. CSB
