"Of the $165.8 million in emergency funding, about $85 million will be distributed as one-time grants to child care providers to cover operating expenses and staff."
"It's the last step in a legal battle that has prevented the money from being allocated, though the county has collected nearly $500 million for the measure since July 2021."
Alameda County is set to distribute $165.8 million in emergency funding for child care providers, stemming from the Measure C sales tax approved by voters five years ago. This funding aims to stabilize a sector heavily impacted by the pandemic, with approximately $85 million directed as one-time grants for operational costs. The measure, which collects funds through a half-cent sales tax, faced legal hurdles that delayed the release of these essential funds, which are now crucial for supporting families and child care providers alike.
