CPO REPORT

c. Approve Contract Adjustments for ELC and FCI for Child Care for Vulnerable PopulationsSince the inception of the state and federally funded subsidized child care in Broward, there has been a long waiting list for families to receive services. Additionally, stringent eligibility requirements for subsidized care often exclude more vulnerable, working poor populations such as young adults aging out of foster care, relative and non-relative Kinship caregivers and referrals from the Center for Working Families.

CPO REPORT

d. Approve SWIM Central Contract AdjustmentsSince its inception, the Council has been a strong supporter of Drowning Prevention, both with financial support of SWIM Central and public education about the importance of water safety. In May 2014, $50,000 additional dollars were earmarked to specifically address children ages one to four. It was determined the best use of the funds would be to increase the SWIM Central contract to increase the availability of swimming lessons for an estimated 1,250 infants and young children ages six months to four years, the most at-risk population.
