Emergency Childcare for Healthcare Workers

Immediate child care support for essential healthcare workers at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key Impact

15 LA-area Hospitals
18,883 Shifts covered to date
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.
