Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-33-20 directing all residents to heed immediately to current State public
health directives to shelter-in-place (SIP). While school closures ensued, child care was deemed part of the essential
infrastructure and workforce. Since the inception of SIP, the Alameda County Emergency Child Care Response
Team has actively worked to develop a coordinated child care ecosystem for the intake and referral process. This data
dashboard highlights key features of the system including pop-up and existing care in Alameda County. The
dashboard consists of two parts 1) Alameda County Subsidy* and Pop-Up Care Utilization and 2) Detailed
characteristics on families who have utilized the universal intake and referral process. Since the SIP Order, demand
for child care has fluctuated and will continue to do so as health orders and economic conditions change.

EMERGENCY CHILD CARERESPONSE TEAM –
COORDINATED UNIVERSALINTAKE & REFERRAL DATA
As of June 1st, 2020 at 8:00 AM
The County convened a response team to evaluate and respond to the impacts of COVID-19 on the child
care field and assure essential workers had access to care during this unprecedented time. The following
data elements are reflective of the specific coordinated effort of the Response Team to support families
and child care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Alameda County Department of Public Health
Guidance for Child Care and Preschool Programs,” March 19, 2020 provides that “ideally, child care should
be provided in the child’s home, by household members, without exposure to other children or ill
individuals.” The volume of referrals we have received reflects that families are employing this strategy
when it is an option. For essential workers for whom this is not possible, the Alameda County Emergency
Child Care Response Team has developed a coordinated child care intake and referral process. Data
reflected below are prior to targeted subsidies being made available for essential workers. Since the
shelter in place order, demand for child care has fluctuated and it may continue to do so as health orders
and economic conditions change.
