37. AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES COMMUNITY SERVICES Approve Amendment No. 1 to the contract (C-22-13-065-3-00) between Catholic Charities Community Services (CCCS) and Maricopa County, through its Human Services Department. The purpose of the amendment is to decrease the number of Head Start and Early Head Start children to be served from 1,159 to 1,030 during July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. The decrease matches the service levels approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)/Administration for Children and Families (ACF)/Office of Head Start (OHS) for the grant funding year 2013-2014. Reduction in the number of children to be served is a result of sequestration reductions. Enrollment decreases are: Head Start from 1,031 to 911 Early Head Start from 128 to 119 Total number of children impacted is 129 Also, this amendment modifies the contract to add language addressing Catholic Charities’ usage of the modular buildings transferred to the County from Catholic Charities approved by the Board of Supervisors (C-22-14-036-V-00) on November 20, 2013. Maricopa County has been the Grantee Agency providing Head Start services to areas of the County, outside the City of Phoenix, since 1966 and Early Head Start services since 1997. Services for Western Maricopa County have been provided by Catholic Charities Community Services, and the organization is designated by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) as a Delegate Agency of Maricopa County’s Head Start Zero-Five Program. Reimbursable funding is limited to the amount allocated by the DHHS on an annual basis when notified of funding availability (Federal Financial Assistance Award). The contract requires Catholic Charities to provide a 25 percent match (non-federal share). (C-22-13-065-3-01)
