New Capacity For High Needs
The Commission aims to expand the availability of quality, accessible and affordable child care services. Shortly after a Riverside County Early Care and Education Mapping study was prepared by Advancement Project/Healthy City in 2009, the Commission approved funding for building new capacity in high need areas listed in the study.
First 5 Riverside is offering New Capacity for High Need Areas Grants to fund community-based projects that support children, from birth through age 5, in Riverside County. These grants are intended to support capital new development and/or renovation for increasing the number of licensed center-based child care spaces in high need areas. Funds are not intended to support current, on-going or general operations.
