Policy Brief: Increasing Access to Family, Friend, and Neighbor Caregiver Wages through California’s Child Care Subsidy System

April 29, 2024

Our policy brief, Increasing Access to Family, Friend, And Neighbor Caregiver Wages through California’s Child Care Subsidy System, written in partnership with Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, San José Public Library, and Visión y Compromiso, highlights the important role of Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) caregivers and the challenges they face when it comes to compensation. In California, FFN caregivers who serve income-eligible families can receive subsidies for their caregiving; however, they face many barriers in accessing them. This brief explores the barriers to subsidies and provides recommendations on how to better support FFN caregivers in obtaining them.
