BACKGROUND:

On April 19, 2022, the City Council received a report on the outcomes of the Child Care Assessment performed by United Way to better understand the needs of working parents and childcare providers. The full report can be viewed here. In summary, the survey results focused on three major barriers for parents and providers:

1. Cost of Childcare

2. Demand for Space

3. Staffing and Employment
On June 20, 2023, the City Council allocated $50,000 in FY 2023-24 and $250,000 in FY 2024-25 for childcare initiatives as part of the adopted two-year budget plan.

On March 26, 2024, the Human Services Committee (Committee) met to receive an update on regional and local childcare efforts and provide direction on the future work efforts of the childcare initiatives. At this meeting, the Committee requested staff to return at a later date to provide more information on potential initiatives that address the supply side of the childcare issue to increase childcare spots. 1 Meeting Date: May 28, 2024

On May 14, 2024, the Committee met to consider additional childcare proposals and recommend to the City Council how to use FY 2023-24 funds allocated for childcare initiatives. The Committee heard proposals from Women’s Economic Ventures (WEV) and United Way of Santa Barbara County. The full report, along with the proposals from this meeting, can be found in Attachment 1.

DISCUSSION:

On May 14, 2024, the Committee recommended supporting both proposals with a grant agreement for WEV for $46,200 for the Business of Care Program (Attachment 2) and a grant agreement with United Way for $3,800 for the Brighter Futures Childcare Fund, with the focus area of strengthening the childcare sector through business technical training for program owners/directors (Attachment 3). Summaries of the proposals are described below.

WEV Business of Care Proposal
Women’s Economic Ventures “Business of Care” Program offe rs accessible business support for childcare
providers, early childhood educato rs, and individuals who want to start or grow their own childcare business. The eight-wee k training prog ram is suitable for both home-based and center-based businesse s and is available in both English and Spanish. The program is made widely accessible through in-person , online, o r HyFlex classes in small cohort sizes of 10 to 15 students per class.

The program offers group instruction in creating a business plan and identifying avenues for growth, business finance, and infrastructure. Participants are also introduced to WEV's comprehensive range of services for both new and existing businesses, which includes access to capital, financial education, and business classes that are either free or low- cost. Depending on the program model, participants also receive stipends to support the growth of their business.

WEV uses a business plan scoring rubric to determine eligibility for receiving a business stipend. If selected, business owners are required to submit receipts for expenses as well as complete a minimum of two hours of 1:1 business coaching with a qualified WEV business advisor.

Pilot program expected impact:
 12 childcare business owners trained.
 Up to 96 infant/toddler childcare slots created by expanding providers' capacity at small licensures (6 slots) to large licensures (14 slots).  $30,000 in stipends provided.

Pilot program cost:
 Upon completing the course, participants are eligible to apply for a stipend to pay for resources or supplies to support their business.
 Cost of the pilot program with a stipend of $2,500 for 12 participants= $46,200 2 Meeting Date: May 28, 2024

United Way Brighter Futures Childcare Fund Proposal
The City of Goleta also has the opportunity to invest in the Brighter Futures Childcare Fund (Fund), an integrated approach to support the solutions identified in the original assessment recommendations and in the initial discussions within the Coalition.

The objective of the Fund is to provide a centralized place for parents, employers, and childcare providers seeking support to access financial resources to address unmet needs. As one of the original contracted deliverables with First 5 Santa Barbara County, United Way plans to facilitate the creation of 250 new infant/toddler childcare spaces throughout the county. The four focus areas of the Fund target identified gaps in the system that have demonstrated the highest impact on the ability of providers and employers to offer additional spaces and for local families to be able to secure and afford them.

The four (4) focus areas of the Fund are:

1. Provide scholarships for parents in the “missing middle” who make too much for government subsidized programs but too little to afford the average local cost of childcare.
o Soliciting applications from eligible families and providing selected scholarship recipients with 12 months of financial support paid directly to a licensed childcare provider.

2. Increase the supply of childcare spaces through the support of start -up costs for businesses launching an employer sponsored childcare program. o Working with the local business community to educate about the benefits of employer-sponsored childcare and supporting motivated businesses with start-up costs for new infant-toddler spots.

3. Provide technical assistance to employers needing support in the start -up or expansion of infant-toddler spaces.
o Partnering with relevant government, non-profit, and consulting agencies to provide curated technical assistance to businesses that are beginning the process of opening new infant-toddler spaces throughout the county.

4. Strengthen the childcare sector through business technical training for owners/directors of programs.
o Circulating an RFP from community organizations that can conduct business training for cohorts of childcare business owners and directors.

The Fund is a co mbination of public, corporate, and philanthropic support and is set to initially launch with $500,000 that has already been secured to address the stated goals.

The Fund will allow for public and private dollars to be invested generally in the Fund, or to specific areas of interest in line with the four focus areas listed above. Given the nature of the Fund’s structure and management, investments can also be made regionally, supporting providers, employers, and families in a specific municipality or region . As members of the Coalition and investors to the Fund, the City of Goleta may join a county- 3 Meeting Date: May 28, 2024

wide effort to address the availability of affordable, high-quality childcare. The Committee recommended allocating its investment to focus on area number four (4) to strengthen the childcare sector through business technical training for owners/directors of programs.

With $50,000 budgeted for this fiscal year for childcare initiatives , the Committee recommended fully funding the WEV proposal and giving the difference to United Way’s Fund. The Committee also discussed the potential to grant United Way a portion of the childcare initiative budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25 for the Fund and agreed it warranted a larger discussion with the full Council to determine the appropriate allocation between the focus areas of the Fund.

Staff recommends that the Council approve the Committee’s recommendation to enter into grant agreements with WEV for $46,200 and with United Way for $3,800. The Council also has the option to discuss the allocation of next Fiscal Year’s childcare initiatives funding of $250,000 and whether there is interest in granting United Way funding for the Brighter Futures Childcare Fund and provide direction to staff accordingly.

If the Council does not choose to provide direction on next Fiscal Year’s funding, staff will return to the Committee in July or August to allow the Committee to discuss and make a recommendation to the Council.

GOLETA STRATEGIC PLAN:

City-Wide Strategy : 2. Support Community Vitality and Enhanced Recreational Opportunities
Strategic Goal: 2.3 Support childcare initiatives and programs FISCAL IMPACTS:

On June 20, 2023, as part of the adopted two-year budget plan, the City Council allocated $50,000 in FY 2023-24 and $250,000 in FY 2024-25 for childcare programs. Those funds have been budgeted in the FY 2023-24 City Manager’s Professional Services GL account (101-10-1200-51200) for $50,000. Therefore, no additional appropriations are needed for these grant agreements.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council could choose to amend the grant agreements or to not move forward with the grant agreements and choose an alternative strategy to spend the funding for the childcare initiative.

arly Childcare Education Workforce
Childcare is a complex business with the qualifications, licensing, and teacher/adult to child ratio requirements that all contribute to the high costs of operations. According to a recent report published by the Bipartisan Policy center in February 2024, “childcare is a labor-intensive industry, and labor costs make up 70– 80% of a typical program’s operating budget. Businesses operate on razor thin margins in a private market, resulting in high costs for parents, low revenue for childcare programs, and low w ages for staff.” 1 In the state of California, childcare centers and family day care homes are regulated by California Code of Regulations Title 22 and the Education Code requirements, commonly known as Title 5, which sets stricter adult/child ratios and staff qualifications than Title 22.

It is important to note these ratio requirements set minimums, but quality care goes above 1 Smith, L. K., & Osborn, C. (2024, March 1).

and beyond the standards. In addition, there are other factors that influence quality childcare including the educational and experience of early childhood providers. As quoted in the Child Care Assessment, a provider “cannot make money without compromising quality”. While the challenges of childcare are multifaceted, and there is no silver bullet to address all aspects of the system of care and education, there is an immediate and apparent need for more childcare spaces and local providers are struggling to maintain qualified staff to ensure quality care to increase the number of spots.

DI
SCUSSION:

As
stated previously, at the March 26, 2024, meeting, the Committee requested other proposals to be presented to address the provider and workforce challenges of the childcare issue. The remainder of this report will focus on strategies to support building a qualified childcare workforce and investing in providers to help bolster the workforce and increase the number of childcare spots . Below are summaries of the two proposals being presented by Women’s Economic Ventures (WEV) and United Way. Also listed below is Table 1 from the previous report as a reminder of the potential options and alternatives that the Committee may want to re-consider.

EV Business of Care P roposal
Women’s Economic Ventures “Business of Care” Program offers accessible business support for childcare providers, early childhood educators, and individuals who want to start or grow their own childcare business. The eight -week training program is suitable for both home-based and center-based businesses and is available in both English and Spanish. The program is made widely accessible through in-person or online classes in small cohort sizes of 12 to 15 students per class. Students benefit from the experience of their instructor during group training classes and have the benefit of building community with like-minded peers.

11 Meeting Date: May 14, 2024

Pilot program cost:

Upon completing the course, participants are eligible to apply for a stipend to pay for resources or supplies to support their business. The program cost per participant without stipend funding is $1,350 and $3,850 with stipend. To date, participant stipends have ranged from $2,500-$7,500. The City could fund one of the two pilot program options:
• Cost of pilot program without stipend funding for 12 participants= $16,200 • Cost of pilot program with stipend of $2,500 for 12 participants= $46,200

See Attachment 2 for the full “Business of Care” Proposal and presentation.

United Way Brighter Futures Childcare Fun
d Proposal
The City of Goleta also has the opportunity to invest in the Brighter Futures Childcare Fund (Fund), an integrated approach to support the solutions identified in the original assessment recommendations and in the initial discussions within the Coalition.

The objective of the Fund is to provide a centralized place for parents, employers, and childcare providers seeking support to access financial resources to address unmet needs.

As one of the original contracted deliverables with First 5 Santa Barbara County, United Way plans to facilitate the creation of 250 new infant/toddler childcare spaces throughout the county. The four focus areas of the Fund target identified gaps in the system that have demonstrated highest impact on the ability of providers and employers to offer additional spaces and for local families to be able to secure and afford them.

The Brighter Futures Childcare Fund will:
• Provide scholarships for parents in the “missing middle” who make too much for government subsidized programs but too little to afford the average local cost of childcare.
o Soliciting applications from eligible families and providing selected scholarship recipients with 12 months of financial support paid directly to a licensed childcare provider.
• Increase the supply of childcare spaces through the support of start -up costs for businesses launching an employer sponsored childcare program. o Working with the local business community to educate about the benefits of employer sponsored childcare and supporting motivated businesses with start- up costs for new infant-toddler spots.

will allow for public and private dollars to be invested generally in the Fund, or to specific areas of interest in line with the four focus areas listed above. Given the nature of the Fund’s structure and management, investments can also be made regionally, supporting providers, employers, and families in a specific municipality or region. As members of the Coalition and investors to the Fund with $50,000 from Goleta funding, the City of Goleta may join a county- wide effort to address the availability of affordable, high-quality childcare. For the investment in the Fund, the City of Goleta has the opportunity to allocate its investment between each of the four focus areas, prioritizing its investment to align with its strategic objectives to advance household stability in the area.

See Attachment 3 for the full Brighter Futures Childcare Fund Proposal.

Inspired by her family and her love for kids, Yvette Avila opened her own daycare business, Blossom Daycare. Although she initially struggled with lack of funding for furniture and supplies, her dream of starting her business came to fruition. “I am already loving making a difference in children’s lives,” she said.

In 2022, Yvette participated in WEV’s Business of Care Program in collaboration with Children's Resource and Referral (CRR) of Santa Barbara County- an eight-week business training program and she received a $7,500 grant to support her business growth. Yvette said, “I wanted to learn how to run my business better and how to market it.” She learned how to promote her daycare business and the importance of having her finances in order. She is grateful for the support she has received, “I am so happy I did this training early on in my business. WEV is a network of women who root for and encourage one another and it’s a wonderful circle to be in.” Yvette encourages others who are considering entrepreneurship, to go for it, saying “At first it’s scary, but when you take that leap it only gets better, especially when you have a great organizations like WEV and CRR helping you through every step.”
Ashley Ortega shared that "being a new business owner
has been a sometimes stressful path to navigate" but the support she received through WEV's Business of Care
program "helped in so many different aspects of learning how to run a business". Through participating in the
Business of Care program Ashley received
entrepreneurship training and a $7,500 grant to grow her business and provide care to additional children in her rural hometown.

Perhaps the most compelling part of Ashley's story is how she describes her relationship with her business coach - "You make me feel like I have a safe and reliable place for help, motivation and support". My confidence has grown and "things have been far less stressful, I know that if I need you, you'll have the answer, and if you don't you'll find the right answers."

Brighter Futures Childcare Initiative |1

City of Goleta | Brighter Futures Childcare Fund Proposal

Organizational Overview & Experience in Childcare
Since its inception, United Way of Santa Barbara County has been a leader in building more resilient foundations for local individuals, students, and families. By developing and leading networks of local service agencies and community organizations, United Way builds its programming on a foundation of informed experience, targeting community needs through programming and initiatives that focus on school readiness and academic achievement, financial empowerment, and response and recovery in times of crisis.

In continuation of its work to build a more resilient community, United Way has identified a significant need in the local childcare sector. Affecting local families, employers, and childcare providers, the childcare industry has significant impacts on economic resiliency for thousands in our community. As identified in recent assessments and surveys, residents of the City of Goleta have reported a number of these challenges, with many local families struggling to maintain employment due to the lack of or the ability to afford childcare. In an effort to support these families and the community in which they live, work, and grow, we invite the City of Goleta to join as partners of United Way’s Brighter Childcare Coalition and invest in the associated fund:
supporting the implementation of data-driven solutions to support local needs.

For decades, the need for affordable, high-quality childcare for children from ages zero to five years has been a challenge for working parents and caregivers. As the economic environment worsens and costs for labor, facilities, and basic needs continue to rise, households from a variety of income levels constantly battle both the lack of available spaces and high costs for quality care for their children. For the average dual-income household with two children ages 0- 5 in a licensed childcare facility in Santa Barbara County, they can be expected to spend an average of 37% of their monthly income on childcare costs alone.

Through extensive work in developing and implementing childcare and early learning programming, including bridge programs for toddler aged children entering Kindergarten and emergency childcare initiatives, United Way has developed a unique and comprehensive understanding of the local sector and needs of caregivers, employers, and providers in the region..

In response to United Way’s development of programs and partnerships in early learning and its success in expanding infant and toddler childcare for emergency and essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization was commissioned by the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara to facilitate a community needs assessment to better understand the specific needs of local families in these two cities in securing access to reliable, affordable care. In partnership with a local consultant, United Way worked with childcare industry specialists, local 35 United Way

providers, employers and corporations, and school districts to conduct the assessment. The results of this study were presented to the commissioning cities, confirming what had been projected as significant need throughout the sector. Local families across income levels and providers within each municipality called for significant intervention in the sector as a key solution to long-term financial stability and resiliency. In the city of Goleta alone, it was estimated that 70% of families with children ages 0-5 were unsatisfied with their experience within the childcare sector. In addition to the reported challenges in affording quality care, countywide data indicates a need of 7,000+ additional spaces to support the number of working caregivers who need them to maintain employment and a stable financial foundation for their household.

At the close of 2022, United Way partnered with First 5 Santa Barbara County and other community organizations to aid in the recovery and rebuilding of the childcare sector. In recognition of its local survey and assessment efforts in the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara, and of its growing network and relationships within the childcare sector through direct programs, United Way was contracted to achieve five primary outcomes. These direct United Way and its partners to:

1. Facilitate a Countywide Childcare Assessment

2. Establish a Childcare Coalition

3. Facilitate a Business Training/Technical Support Program for Childcare Providers

4. Create of a Grant Program for Employer Infant/Childcare Spaces

5. Develop an Emergency Childcare Plan for First Responders/Essential Workers Since the work began, United Way has already achieved significant progress in each of the five contracted focus areas, working with local consultants and specialists to build out its coordinated plan to support stakeholders within the sector. As one of its primary directives, United Way launched the Brighter Futures Childcare Coalition, a collaborative of over 20 elected representatives, local employers and businesses, service agencies, school district partners, and others to help direct informed and innovative solution-building in the sector. The primary directive of the Coalition is to better understand the complex and integrated childcare sector through the perspective and direction of key players who provide, subsidize, or need childcare in order to thrive.

Each member of the Coalition offers a unique opportunity to voice the concerns, hopes, and ideas of those they represent in a forum of diverse individuals and agencies. To date, the Coalition has already held innovative discussions about how to integrate the strengths of various sectors to solve the complex puzzle of a strong childcare system. As members of the Coalition, the City of Goleta would stand among those in our community who have made a 36 United Way

commitment to a collaborative childcare solution to better serve local families with a strong and resilient system designed on their behalf.

Brighter Futures Childcare Fund
In addition to membership in the Coalition, the City of Goleta also has the opportunity to invest in the Brighter Futures Childcare Fund, an integrated approach to support the solutions identified in the original assessment recommendations and in the initial discussions within the Coalition.

The objective of the Brighter Futures Childcare Fund is to provide a centralized place for parents, employers, and childcare providers seeking support to access financial resources to address unmet needs. As one of the original contracted deliverables with First 5 Santa Barbara County, United Way plans to facilitate the creation of 250 new infant/toddler childcare spaces throughout the county. The four focus areas of the Fund target identified gaps in the system that have demonstrated highest impact on the ability of providers and employers to offer additional spaces and for local families to be able to secure and afford them.

The Brighter Futures Childcare Fund will:
• Provide scholarships for parents in the “missing middle” who make too much for government subsidized programs but too little to afford the average local cost of childcare.
o Soliciting applications from eligible families and providing selected scholarship recipients with 12-month of financial support paid directly to a licensed childcare provider.
• Increase the supply of childcare spaces through the support of start-up costs for businesses launching an employer sponsored childcare program. o Working with the local business community to educate about the benefits of employer sponsored childcare and supporting motivated businesses with start- up costs for new infant-toddler spots.
• Provide technical assistance to employers needing support in the start-up or expansion of infant-toddler spaces.
o Partnering with relevant government, non-profit, and consulting agencies to provide curated technical assistance to businesses that are beginning the process of opening new infant-toddler spaces throughout the county. • Strengthen the childcare sector through business technical training for owners/directors of programs.
o Circulating an RFP from community organizations that can conduct business training for cohorts of childcare business owners and directors. 37 United Way

The Brighter Futures Childcare Fund is built in line with United Way’s extensive experience as a grantmaking organization, both as a direct provider of scholarship and grant programming and as a fiscal agent for collaborative community and municipal funding distribution. Informed by this unique experience serving individuals and families in cities like Goleta, United Way looks forward to building a dynamic fund that will address historical and emerging needs within the childcare sector. The Fund is a combination of public, corporate, and philanthropic support and is set to initially launch with $500,000 that has already been secured to address the stated goals. The Fund will allow for public and private dollars to be invested generally to the Fund, or to specific areas of interest in line with the four focus areas listed above. Given the nature of the Fund’s structure and management, investments can also be made regionally, supporting providers, employers, and families in a specific municipality or region.

For decades, United Way has worked alongside the City of Goleta to advance its mission of building a more resilient community. The Brighter Futures Childcare Coalition and Fund are a unique opportunity to magnify our partnership to support residents of Goleta with a multifaceted solution to a challenge that thousands are currently facing. As members of the Coalition and investors to the Fund with $50,000 from Measure B tax funding, the City of Goleta will join a county-wide effort to address the availability of affordable, high-quality childcare. For the investment in the Fund, the City of Goleta has the opportunity to allocate its investment between each of the four focus areas, prioritizing its investment to align with its strategic objectives to advance household stability in the area.

United Way is committed to its ongoing efforts in meeting the needs of the families we serve.

With continued community support, we look forward to supporting businesses, providers, and parents with a more resilient childcare sector. Thank you for considering partnering with United Way, the Brighter Futures Childcare Coalition, and the County of Santa Barbara on building a brighter future for families and children.
