ARPA Initiative

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

On February 28, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved $20 million in funding for childcare initiatives. The funding comes from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), part of the coronavirus-relief package signed into law in 2021. Of this, $15 million was allocated for childcare infrastructure grants. The Office of Children and Families Policy (OCFP) is finalizing a contract with the Valley Health Foundation to administer the childcare infrastructure grants. Childcare infrastructure grants aim to support licensed childcare center- and family-based provider businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to address childcare disruptions and enrollment gaps by reopening or increasing the total number of affordable infant and toddler childcare spaces available to families.
