Public Benefits: They're the Same Families: CalWORKs Child Care Subsidy Law and Advocacy Opportunities

When most legal services advocates think about public benefits for families, they think about cash aid, food, and health care. But it's time to add a fourth leg to that stool - child care! Child care subsidies for low-income families provide work support for the parent while giving the child access to early educational opportunities. This webinar will focus on which families are eligible to receive child care assistance, the different types of assistance available, and the framework for child care in the state.
