BACKGROUND:
An annual update of the Independent Living Skills Program administered by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) was first referred to the Family and Human Services Committee by the Board of Supervisors on October 17, 2006.
On June 7, 2016, EHSD requested, and the Board approved, expanding Referral #93 - Independent Living Skills Program to include additional youth services updates and retitling the referral to “Youth Services Report”, so that the department can include reports on all youth services offered in the community through EHSD, including Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and CalWORKs youth services.
On October 28, 2024, EHSD presented an update to the Family and Human Services Committee on youth services. The committee accepted the attached report and approved staff forwarding it to the full Board for their information.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Board will not receive information from the Employment and Human Services Department’s on Youth Services in Contra Costa County.
