ALERT SOUTHBAY SURVEY #3 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BEACH CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT

As we strive to help support our communities, your feedback is incredibly valuable in addressing your concerns. Your responses are completely anonymous unless you choose to provide your information at the end if you would like to be contacted by your local city representative. This is entirely optional. Thank you for taking the time to provide your comments. To complete the survey, please click here.

REMINDER FOR PLACES OF WORSHIP

We understand how central people's faith is to their identity. Religion is an important source of strength, comfort, and community to millions of our residents, especially in the midst of the very trying COVID-19 health crisis. For both worshippers and the wider community, we are reminding all residents that religious services can continue to take place outdoors with face coverings and physical distance. 

COUNTY TO ISSUE CHILDCARE VOUCHERS

Earlier this week, LA County announced that $15 million in CARES Act funding had been allocated for childcare vouchers to serve essential workers and low-income families in the County. This allocation translates to three months of child care for 5,000 families.

The DPH Office for the Advancement of Early Care and Education will lead the funding distribution in partnership with the Los Angeles County Early Childhood Education COVID-19 Response Team - created in March to support essential workers, such as healthcare workers and first responders.

Families seeking early care and education services may access vouchers by calling 888-92-CHILD (888-922-4453). The state sets income eligibility for these vouchers.
