body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Laurie Bain-Smith
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved (Ken Klein 8/13/24)
PURPOSE: Approve and authorize the County Executive to sign Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families ECEAP Contract 25-1107.
BACKGROUND: ECEAP Contract 25-1107 with the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) is for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 in the amount of $18,643,712.
Established by the Legislature in 1985, ECEAP is a comprehensive school-readiness program serving low-income and at-risk 3- and 4-year-old children and their families in Washington state. Because many factors affect a child's development and learning ability, ECEAP provides preschool education, health services coordination, nutrition, family support and parent engagement.
This Program will provide services to 1,587 children in Snohomish County - 1,228 Part-Day slots and 359 School-Day slots, including funds for specialized services for children with complex needs (ECLIPSE and Complex Needs Funds).
This Contract was included in the 2024 Human Services Grant Work Plan; however, the award exceeds the amount included in the Grant Work Plan by more than $50,000, thus requiring Council approval.
