Care provided for 6,752 children
$2.175 Million provided in direct childcare stipends to low-income healthcare workers
When schools and child care centers closed because of the pandemic, we provided child care support so essential healthcare workers at L.A. hospitals could continue their work on the front lines. We also funded a child care referral service to match hospital workers with licensed child care providers in their neighborhoods.
