May 2023 Featured Agency Highlight
Davis Street
Community based public and private Alternative Payment Programs (APPs) support the needs of working moms and dads with access to child care and other supports earmarked to lift families up from poverty. During the pandemic, these programs have distributed emergency essential worker child care vouchers, family child care and center stipends & PPE, diapers, food and clothing. Throughout California, these APPs may also support parental choice to CalWORKs Stages 2 & 3, preschool and center-based programs, general child care, After School Education and Safety (ASES), Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), Family Child Care Home Education Networks (FCCHENs), transportation, behavioral & mental health services, respite, regional centers, health and safety, 21st Century, resource libraries, and Trustline.
"Davis Street has been a key community leader in guiding families out of poverty and into productive lives since 1972. We provide programs and services encompassing: primary care (including medical, dental, pediatric, behavioral health and women’s health services), child care, programs for adults living with developmental disabilities, free food and clothing, housing information, utility assistance and more. Our full range of services is unique from any other local organization."

2023 Conference
Save the Date and join your peers for an amazing 2023 Joint Conference! The California Child Care Resource & Referral Network and the California Alternative Payment Program Association are excited to announce that we heard you and we will offer a joint conference in 2023 that has both an in-person and virtual option this Fall!

We are working with the Conference Committee to offer thoughtful, user-friendly options with keynote presentations, workshops, networking opportunities, and connection time with vendors. For those that are ready to connect in-person, we will once again be at the Double Tree Hotel in Sacramento. And for those that are not quite ready for in-person or like the conveniences that come with virtual attendance, we’ll have an option that is similar to the last three years. Regardless of the option that works best for your agency, we look forward to connecting, supporting and partnering with you!

Registration information, along with a preliminary conference program, will be released soon! At that time, online registration will be open, and attendees will be able to select from the in-person conference or the virtual conference. Those that register for the in-person option will also receive access to the virtual conference. Due to the cost of the in-person option, we are limiting the registration to 250. When registration opens, all agencies will have an opportunity to register a limited number of people by a specific deadline. If spaces remain after the deadline they will be made available to interested agencies.
