Presenter: Contra Costa County’s Human Resources Department
Information:
Received presentations from Contra Costa County’s Human Resources Department on program implementation, expenditures, and the status of the one-time $15 million AB 109 excess funding recommendations.
Referral History and Update:
In 2024, the Community Advisory Board (CAB) was tasked with developing recommendations for allocating a one-time $15 million in funding to support community services. Through this process, CAB identified key needs and gaps and developed recommendations focused on four priority areas: housing, behavioral health, employment, and pre- and post-release engagement. Service providers presented initial overviews of their programs, including services, processes, and implementation plans.
As part of its priorities for this year, the CAB continues to review program implementation and expenditures related to the one-time $15 million in AB 109 excess funding. Various agencies have been invited to provide updates on the services supported through these recommendations.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CAB will review and discuss the updates and any proposed funding changes before developing formal recommendations for presentation to CCP.
