The process may feel complicated, but it becomes easier when families know where to start and what information to prepare.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a childcare subsidy?<\/h2>\n<p>A childcare subsidy helps pay part or, in some cases, most of an eligible family\u2019s childcare cost. Assistance may be connected to employment, school, job training, CalWORKs or another qualifying circumstance. Eligibility, family fees and authorized hours are determined by the administering agency\u2014not by the childcare provider.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Contra Costa families can begin<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Contact Contra Costa County Employment &amp; Human Services if your family participates in CalWORKs or receives county services.<\/li><li>Ask the local Resource and Referral agency about subsidized childcare programs and current application procedures.<\/li><li>Prepare proof of need for care, income information and your child\u2019s basic enrollment records when requested.<\/li><li>Confirm that the childcare provider accepts the subsidy program before completing enrollment.<\/li><\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions parents often ask<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does receiving assistance guarantee a childcare opening?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Funding authorization and provider availability are separate.
