Implications of welfare reform for child care availability in the crystal stairs service area

Implications of Welfare Reform for Child Care Availability in the Crystal Stairs Service Area Executive Summary Recent welfare reform has significantly increased work requirements for welfare recipients. Due to this change, it is expected there will be a significant increase in the demand for full-time, yearround child care. The County of Los Angeles anticipates that potential increased demand for child care is greater than known supply (i.e., licensed child care). License-exempt care (e.g., relatives, friends, neighbors) is extremely difficult to quantify, and the supply is unknown to administrators. Yet adequate child care supply, both licensed and license-exempt, is necessary for the successful implementation of work requirements and to help move families off welfare.

Parents who cannot find reasonably available child care may be temporarily excused from work requirements.

Crystal Stairs, the county's largest child care Resource and Referral agency/Alternative Payment Provider, has numerous welfare families in its service area. In order to help administer child care services to these families, Crystal Stairs has an interest in analyzing the known child care supply and potential new demand to get an indication of the potential supply shortage.

The intent of this report is to estimate the magnitude of the licensed supply shortage in the Crystal Stairs service area and to recommend broad action to help meet welfare reform policy goals. With regard to child care, the policy goal is to ensure there is enough child care to enable parents to meet increased welfare reform work requirements. To do this, child care may be licensed or license-exempt, it must be within a reasonable distance from parents' home or work, it must provide care for all hours parents will be engaged in work-related activities (generally full-time), and it must be safe and dependable. Because licensed care is known to Crystal Stairs, it is the focus of this analysis. Also, it is assumed parents will want child care near their homes, and zip codes are used as a geographic indicator.

This report uses secondary analysis of existing data and imposes general statistical and geographic information system (GIS) analysis to arrive at a conclusion about supply and demand. The supply data was gathered from Crystal Stairs’ CareFinder database, and the demand data is from the county’s Department of Public Social Services database, based on September 1997 Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) caseload data.

Key Findings In the Crystal Stairs service area, potential demand far exceeds current licensed supply.

Current vacant supply meets only 11% of the potential demand from children eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

The supply and demand gap is greatest for infant and school-aged care, with 8% and 6% of potential need met, respectively. While preschool supply is greater, it will only meet 22% of potential new demand.

Current capacity serves predominantly preschool-age children (68%), while potential new TANF demand will be largely school-aged children (52%).

Centers are operating at much lower vacancy rates than family child care homes (14% and 41%, respectively).

Zip codes with the largest numbers of TANF children (90001, 90002, 90003, 90011, 90037, 90044, 90059, and 90250) have very low percentages of potential need met through current vacancies. Many of these zip codes have 5% or less of potential demand met and over 2,500 TANF children.

Potential need met in the eastern portion of the service area, South-Central, and one area in Inglewood (zip codes 90001, 90002, 900003, 90011, 90015, 90037, 90058, 90059, and 90304) is consistently lowest for all age groups.

Vacancies with Spanish-speaking providers are extremely low 3% or less in zip codes where over 50% of AFDC recipients indicate Spanish as their primary home language (90001, 90011, 90015, 90058, 90304). Overall, only 5% of potential new demand is met through vacancies providing care in Spanish.

Weekend child care capacity meets only 4% of potential new demand, not accounting for current capacity already being used.

Nighttime child care capacity meets only 1% of potential new demand, not accounting for current capacity already being used.

In order to provide a full range of choices to parents, as well as to lessen the circumstances leading to temporary work exemptions, the licensed child care supply in the Crystal Stairs service area will need to be greatly increased. Unless a conscious effort is made to increase supply, Crystal Stairs will be limited in the help it can provide its clients in finding child care, and many TANF parents will find it difficult to meet their welfare reform work requirements due to the lack of reasonably available care. Ultimately, this child care problem could limit the effectiveness of welfare reform.

Based on the analysis of data, several broad actions are recommended to build licensed capacity in the service area to lessen the gap between known supply and potential demand: Target school-aged and infant care specifically, while recognizing all age groups will benefit from increased supply.

Focus efforts to increase supply in or near the zip codes with the largest numbers of TANF children and the lowest vacant supply.

Target supply of care during nonstandard hours when many TANF recipients will need to work.

Target supply of care in Spanish, particularly in zip codes with large percentages of Spanishspeaking TANF recipients.

Welfare Reform and Child Care Availability

I. Introduction The supply of licensed child care in the Crystal Stairs service area will need to be greatly increased to meet the new demand for full-time child care as a result of welfare reform work requirements. If supply is not increased, then the majority of recipients newly seeking full-time child care will be forced to rely on potentially less reliable license-exempt care despite their preferences. Worse yet, they may face the situation of no child care at all, which would inhibit their ability to meet the new work requirements. The success of welfare reform depends, in part, on child care as a support service for parents entering the labor force full time. For Crystal Stairs to provide child care assistance to welfare recipients, there must first be sufficient capacity to meet the demand. This report uses secondary analysis of Crystal Stairs and county database information to analyze the licensed capacity to determine to what degree the current licensed supply meets the estimated demand.

Recent welfare reform has significantly increased work requirements for welfare recipients. Due to this change, it is expected there will be a significant increase in the demand for full-time, year-round child care. The County of Los Angeles anticipates that potential increased demand for child care is greater than known supply (i.e., licensed child care). License-exempt care (e.g., relatives, friends, neighbors) is extremely difficult to quantify, and the supply is unknown to county administrators. Yet adequate child care supply, both licensed and licenseexempt, is necessary for the successful implementation of work requirements and to help move families off welfare.

Crystal Stairs, the county's largest Resource and Referral (R&R) agency/Alternative Payment Provider (APP), has numerous welfare families in its service area. In order to help administer child care services to these families, Crystal Stairs has an interest in analyzing the

known, licensed child care supply and potential new demand in its service area to get an indication of the potential supply shortage. Among the reasons to compare demand to licensed supply are the following: Crystal Stairs can only refer their clients to known supply. Exempt child care is unknown to referral staff, but licensed child care is available through their database system. If licensed supply is unavailable, Crystal Stairs cannot help clients find care, and clients will have to rely on other methods. Finding reliable care can often be a challenging prospect for welfare recipients. Clients may require work exemptions if care is not reasonably available. Licensed care is the most reliable measure of availability because welfare administrators cannot assume all recipients have access to license-exempt child care.

Based on Crystal Stairs' historical data, welfare parents receiving child care subsidies have chosen licensed child care predominantly, with only 16% of recipients opting for licenseexempt care.1 Given this revealed preference for licensed care, it can be assumed that welfare recipients will demand licensed care when they have access to guaranteed subsidies. They will not have a full range of choices of child care options if faced with limited licensed supply.

License-exempt care tends to be less reliable for full-time, year-round child care needs than licensed care. Licensed providers have a greater investment in their work minimum state standards

they must meet

and they are more likely to be consistently available.

The intent of this report is to estimate the magnitude of the licensed supply shortage and to recommend broad action to help meet welfare reform policy goals. With regard to child care, the policy goal is to ensure there is enough child care to enable parents to meet increased welfare

work requirements. To do this, child care may be licensed or license-exempt, it must be within a reasonable distance from parents' home or work, it must provide care for all the hours parents will be engaged in work-related activities (generally full-time), and it must be safe and dependable.

This report uses secondary analysis of existing data and imposes general statistical and geographic information system (GIS) analysis to arrive at a conclusion about supply and demand. The analysis is based on several assumptions, the primary being that welfare recipients will desire child care near their homes. Two recent reports state parents prefer child care close to home.2 Other sources indicate location can depend on the age of the child or neighborhood characteristics. Because it is difficult to accurately predict where recipients will work, and assuming a significant portion will want child care reasonably close to home, this report looks at child care near the home (i.e., within the Crystal Stairs service area).

Another major assumption is that all eligible families with children will participate in work or work related activities, and they will require full-time child care. Many welfare recipients currently work, although generally part-time or inconsistently. Increased work requirements and time limits under welfare reform will force families to quickly increase their work hours and, thus, their child care needs.

A third assumption is that all welfare recipients are potentially interested in licensed child care for their children when they have subsidies to help pay the cost. It is assumed these families desire a choice of child care options. No assumptions are made about the quality of child care arrangements.

The remainder of this report will 1) provide a brief background on welfare reform and the common types of child care available, 2) describe the data and methodology used for analysis, 3) provide an impact analysis with implications for Crystal Stairs, and 4) provide broad recommendations.

II. Background Welfare reform The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 created major changes to the welfare system. The act abolished the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program and created block grants to states for the newly created Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. The new system has more stringent work requirements and time limits than did AFDC, which creates a likely increased need for child care among recipients. Previously, single parents with children under age 3 were exempt from work requirements, but the new law only allows states to give exemptions for single parents of infants up to one year of age.

California's welfare reform plan is known as CalWORKs. Recognizing child care is vital to a parent's ability to enter and remain in the labor force, California has guaranteed subsidized child care to CalWORKs children age 10 and under (with subsidies for 11 and 12-year-olds only if funding is available). Significant funding is provided for CalWORKs child care throughout the state.

California's three-stage child care system As part of welfare reform, California has tried to streamline child care services for TANF recipients and child care providers by creating a three-stage child care system. The goal is to

provide child care benefits in an efficient and effective system to support TANF recipients in meeting new work requirements. The new system is as follows: Stage I begins with first entry into the welfare-to-work program, Greater Avenues for Independence (GAIN). Parents can stay in this stage for up to 6 months or until the family’s work activity and child care are stable. Cal-Learn participants (teen mothers) will remain in this stage while in Cal-Learn. Stage I is funded through the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) and is administered by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) with contracts to APPs. Stage II begins when the parent’s work/education/training program and child care arrangements are stable. Families can stay in Stage II for up to 2 years after receiving cash assistance. Stage II is funded through the California Department of Education (CDE) and administered by APPs. Stage III begins when a funded space is available for current and former CalWORKs families. This stage also includes low income families not receiving cash assistance. Families are eligible for subsidized child care until their income exceeds 75% of the State Median Income (SMI) or their children reach the age of 13. Families whose income exceeds 75% of SMI, but who are currently receiving subsidized child care, will be grandfathered into the program. Stage III is funded through the California Department of Education (CDE) and administered by APPs. Under the new system, Crystal Stairs will administer all stages of child care for its service area in order to provide seamless service for CalWORKs families. The service area includes South-Central Los Angeles, Inglewood, Hawthorne, Gardena, and Lawndale and encompasses 28 zip codes (see Figure A-1). Crystal Stairs administers subsidies to about 1,000 AFDC children

who are classified as Stage II in the new system. It also currently administers the equivalent of Stage III. Work requirements in Los Angeles County In implementing CalWORKs, the County of Los Angeles will require a 32 hours work week for recipients. This exceeds the federal requirements for initial implementation. The county was not able to provide data on the number of hours worked by current recipients, but according to RAND, it is estimated that 40% work less than 20 hours per week, and 50% work less than 25 hours a week.3 It is difficult to know accurate numbers at this point, but it is probably safe to assume that the majority of participants will need to increase their work hours to meet a 32hours-per-week requirement. The number of hours worked per week will affect child care utilization, with more hours worked naturally increasing the amount of child care needed.

Good Cause Exemptions Parents may receive temporary exemptions from work requirements if licensed or license-exempt child care for a child 12 years of age or younger is not reasonably available.

Among the factors considered on a case-by-case basis by the County are the following: Lack of sufficient child care options to exercise parental choice; Parental dissatisfaction with provider; Geographic access limiting parental choice; Failure of the provider to make a long-term commitment to care for the child, and the participant is unable to select another provider; and Child care arrangements have broken down or have been interrupted.

Welfare Reform and Child Care Availability

If the client has an independent means of transportation, such as a car or other assistance, then whether or not child care is a "reasonable distance" from a client's home or worksite includes, but is not limited to: the reliability of the vehicle or other transportation; transportation cost; and the commuting time from the client's home to the child care facility and to the work site.4 Types of child care Parents face several options when choosing child care. For the purposes of this report, the choices fall into two broad categories: licensed or license-exempt. Licensed care is regulated by the state, must meet minimum health, safety, and training standards, and is either center-based or located within a family child care home (FCC). Licensed care is monitored and recorded in R&R databases, including information about hours of operation, capacity, ages served, and any special needs accommodated. Child care centers are nonresidential facilities that can care for large numbers of children

an average of 61 in Crystal Stairs' service area. FCCs provide residential

care to a smaller number of children

an average of nine in Crystal Stairs' service area. A small

FCC is licensed for up to eight children, and a large FCC is licensed for up to 14 children.

License-exempt care is not regulated and is generally based on personal relationships.

These types of arrangements include relatives, friends, and/or neighbors. A license is not required for any person providing care for the children of one family, in addition to the provider's own child(ren); any care and supervision of children by a relative or guardian; 4

certain public and private schools that operate a program before and/or after school for school-age children; certain public and private youth organizations who provide development/enrichment programs; certain public and private recreation programs; cooperative arrangements between parents that involve no payment; or child care provided on federal lands.5 There are no health, safety, or training standards for home providers (e.g., relatives or friends) other than to complete the Health and Safety Self-Certification. Providers who are not close relatives are subject to a Trustline criminal background check if they receive state subsidy payments. License-exempt child care is the least expensive form of child care and supply is unknown to R&Rs. Several factors play a role in a parent's choice of child care. These include the age of the child, the proximity of the provider to home or work, the hours of operation, accommodation of special needs, price, quality, and reliability.

III. Data and Methodology Secondary analysis of Crystal Stairs and DPSS data was used, and general statistical and GIS analysis was imposed to measure the gap between known supply and potential demand.

Supply data

The licensed child care supply data was collected from Crystal Stairs' CareFinder database, which includes all licensed child care centers and family child care providers in the 5

service area. Data was collected over the period January 30 - February 6, 1998, with the exception of the weekend data, which was collected May 1, 1998.The supply data does not account for license-exempt care.

The data was collected for the 28 zip codes served by Crystal Stairs' Alternative Payment Program, which will administer child care subsidies for CalWORKs recipients at all stages of the child care system. While aggregate numbers give a broad picture of known supply in the service area, individual zip codes provide a glimpse of where certain types of child care are most abundant or lacking in the area.

In order to determine the magnitude of the child care supply shortage, it was first necessary to establish the capacity of FCCs and centers and the number of vacancies currently available. The following data was collected by zip code: Number of family child care (FCC) providers

establishes the number of home providers,

including the number of small capacity FCC providers. Small FCC providers are licensed for up to eight children with one adult present, and large FCCs provide for up to 14 children with an additional staff member present.

Number of centers

establishes the availability of center-based care, which provides for large

numbers of children at one site.

Capacities of FCCs and centers

establishes the total capacity of licensed child care, broken

down by type of care and age of child. For the purposes of this report, the age groups are Infants:

birth through age 2

Preschool:

ages 3 through 5

School-age:

ages 6 through 12

Note that five-year-olds, at some point, enter Kindergarten. However, for this report they are classified in the preschool age group. This may affect results slightly, but it is necessary because the demand data is provided with a 3-to-5-years-old age group that is not broken out separately.

Each age group has special child care needs, and families sometimes prefer different types of care for certain age groups. For example, many families prefer center-based care for their preschoolers and home-based care for their youngest children.

Full-time (FT) vacancies in FCCs and centers

establishes the number of current vacancies

by type of care and age of child. Full-time care was chosen because the Los Angeles County 32hours-per-week work requirement is essentially full-time. While capacity figures tell part of the story of child care supply in the region, the number of vacancies is more important for the purposes of this report to establish how much unused licensed care is available for parents seeking child care. The currently used portion of child care is not expected to diminish to any extent, so only vacancies will offer potential spaces for CalWORKs recipients newly seeking licensed care.

Spanish-speaking providers

establishes the number of providers who speak Spanish or have

assistants who do, the total capacity of these providers, and vacancies available to families. A significant portion of CalWORKs recipients in the Crystal Stairs service area are Spanishspeaking, and it is assumed they would prefer a provider who can communicate with them in their home language to some degree.

Special schedule: 24 hours (night)

establishes how many FCC providers and centers provide

care during night hours. This data was selected after consulting with Crystal Stairs staff about how to best determine which providers offer nighttime care. There is a CareFinder database category for extended hours, but it was explained that it is often merely the extension of care by

a couple of hours beyond the traditional "9 to 5" work hours. While this is definitely helpful for many families, for the purposes of this report, the overnight hours are important to analyze because many low-income jobs include night shifts, and there have been reports that care during nighttime hours is lacking.

The 24-hours category measures the number of providers offering care between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. (a technical classification) and their total capacities. The number of vacancies is not included because data on nighttime vacancies, as separate from vacancies during traditional hours, was not available. For example, a FCC provider might have only one vacancy listed, based on capacity during traditional hours, but in reality she has up to six vacancies for nighttime care, if she chooses.

Special schedule: weekends

establishes how many providers offer care on weekends. As with

nighttime care, many CalWORKs recipients will potentially require weekend care because their jobs include nonstandard schedules. Providers offering both nighttime care and weekend care may exist, but this is not specified in the data collected for this report. Likewise, it is not specified how many of the weekend or nighttime providers are Spanish-speaking.

Limitations of data: This data merely provides a snapshot of licensed supply at one point in time. Capacity and vacancies can change from month to month, especially with turnover of FCC providers. However, the total numbers are reasonably accurate for the purposes of this report. This report does not account for a natural increase in supply that might result from the increased demand and an improving economy.

Demand data Estimating potential demand for child care DPSS data is used to estimate potential demand for child care once CalWORKs enrollment is completed. Enrollment has already begun, and according to DPSS, the enrollment process will be competed by the end of 1998. The county expects Stage I enrollees to transition to Stage II in about five months on average. The county therefore foresees that all eligible participants will be enrolled in Stage II by the end of May 1999.

Data was taken from a DPSS report, Potential Stage II Welfare-to-Work Child Care Needs Following Complete Phase-In

June 1999, created in November 1997. These numbers,

based on September 1997 AFDC caseload data, reflect all families subject to welfare-to-work who have children under 13, with the exceptions of Cal-Learn and new TANF recipients. The numbers are pure, with no formula applied to them by DPSS to project caseload. These numbers are used to estimate potential demand after complete phase-in of eligible families, and they are broken down by zip code. For consistency, the DPSS numbers are grouped by age to match the infant, preschool, and school-aged groupings used in the supply data.

Estimating current usage of licensed child care Some of the TANF caseload is currently using child care, so a formula was applied to the DPSS projections to back out the estimated number of children already using licensed child care.

This is based on the assumption that families currently using licensed care will continue to do so, thus affecting used capacity. If the current usage is part-time, it is assumed recipients will be able to increase the number of hours of care with their providers, if necessary. In September 1997, less than 850 AFDC children whose parents received child care subsidies through Crystal Stairs were enrolled in licensed child care. This represents 1.5% of the DPSS caseload for the Crystal

Stairs service area, and only reflects the number of AFDC children known to Crystal Stairs.

Assuming that some families who are not currently claiming subsidies are also using licensed child care, the question remains how many. It is virtually impossible to get specific information from DPSS or any other source. According to DPSS, a substantial majority of CalWORKs recipients engaged in welfare-to-work activity today secure unpaid child care, typically from relatives. Of those working CalWORKs recipients who do use paid child care, a substantial majority rely on license-exempt providers.6 For the purposes of this report, a five percent current usage rate is applied to the caseload projections. An adjusted potential demand estimate is then derived by subtracting five percent from the original potential demand numbers.

Adjusted potential demand for licensed child care Many welfare recipients are currently in the labor force, although not necessarily fulltime or consistently. With the 32-hours-per-week work requirement, it is reasonable to expect that most recipients will need to increase the number of hours and weeks they work. While many may have been able to use license-exempt child care while working part-time, it is anticipated that there will be an increased need for more reliable, full-time care with the new work requirements. An increased demand for licensed care is therefore expected.7 Also, as recipients receive child care subsidies through the APP office, they will have the different child care options explained to them. Based on Crystal Stairs historical data, clients who received subsidies through Crystal Stairs were much more likely to use licensed care than license-exempt care. This is in contrast to the general county trend that indicates AFDC recipients use exempt care predominantly. One explanation for this might be that when they are advised of their options, are

given referrals, and have subsidies to help pay for child care, parents prefer licensed care. This is all contingent on availability of licensed care and subsidies, however. Given that child care subsidies are guaranteed, the estimated 95% of children currently not using licensed child care are all potential new consumers of licensed care.

Demand for infant care The demand estimates for infants are probably high for various reasons. First, Los Angeles County CalWORKs recipients with children under age one are exempt from work requirements. Second, many parents might prefer to have a relative or trusted friend care for their youngest children. Third, licensed infant care is the most expensive of all age groups due to low child/staff ratios. Fourth, many parents might prefer to have their infant in child care close to their work, and many work sites will be outside the Crystal Stairs service area. However, there is almost no way to determine to what degree these factors will affect demand. Therefore, the adjusted demand numbers provide an acceptable point from which to estimate demand based on all recipients who are eligible and have a right to child care subsidies. The numbers also include parents who will choose to work because of time limits, and those who will want child care near their homes. The demand numbers do not include Cal-Learn or possible new TANF recipients who may or may not currently be using child care in the service area.

Data comparison The demand estimates are compared to the supply data by capacity and by full-time vacancies. The unadjusted demand estimates are compared to total capacity for illustrative purposes to provide a relative indication of the supply and demand gap. The adjusted demand estimates, reflecting potential new demand, are compared to the number of vacancies. The

Jill Cannon

Welfare Reform and Child Care Availability

estimate of how much the current vacant licensed supply is able to meet the potential increased demand illustrates the magnitude of the licensed supply shortage. These estimates of potential need met through vacancies are analyzed by individual zip code and across the entire Crystal Stairs service area. The demand for licensed child care from non-CalWORKs recipients, including those in Stage III who are also Crystal Stairs clients, is not accounted for in this report.

IV. Impact Analysis and Implications Crystal Stairs service area Overall, potential demand for licensed child care far exceeds the current supply, as shown in Table 1. Current licensed capacity, not accounting for the capacity currently being used, only meets 46% of the potential CalWORKs demand. Total preschool capacity actually exceeds demand, reflecting the substantial proportion of preschool capacity in the service area (68% of total). However, only 21% of infant demand and 20% of school-aged demand is met through total capacity, reflecting the low capacity for these age groups.

While capacity comparisons provide one indication of the overall supply and demand gap, a comparison of current vacancies and adjusted potential demand (hereafter referred to as potential demand) is much more revealing (see Figures 1 and 2). Current vacant supply meets only 11% of the potential demand in the service area. The gap is greatest for infant and schoolaged care, with 8% and 6% of need met, respectively. While the preschool supply is greater, it will only meet 22% of potential demand.

It is reasonable to expect that not all TANF parents will choose licensed care, even when provided with subsidies and an explanation of the range of options. As noted previously, about 16% of Crystal Stairs' AFDC subsidy clients chose exempt care. Even accounting for a similar percentage choosing license-exempt care in the future, only 12.6% of potential demand for licensed care is met with current vacancies.

General findings: Type of care and age of child: Only 10% of current capacity accommodates infants, but the demand estimates indicate 22% of new demand will be for infant care.

Only 22% of current capacity accommodates school-age children, but the demand estimates indicate the majority of new demand (52%) will be for school-aged care.

Centers have 71% of total capacity and 46% of vacancies, and are operating at lower vacancy rates than FCCs. Infants: FCCs have 78% of total infant capacity and 84% of vacancies.

Preschool: Centers have 81% of total preschool capacity and 62% of vacancies.

School-age: Centers have 64% of total school-aged capacity but only 34% of vacancies.

Without an increase in licensed supply, most TANF families will face limited child care choices. Crystal Stairs staff will be able to offer very limited assistance in helping families find care. License-exempt care will have to increase to fill this gap between known supply and demand, but there is no way to predict how much of the gap it will be able to fill. As a result, many families may face the real possibility of being unable to find reliable child care for their children. This creates a potential situation of numerous “good cause� cases for temporary work exemptions, and/or it could cause parents to leave school-aged children unattended ("latchkey").

Zip codes Zip code 90047, in the center of the service area, has 10% of total service area licensed capacity and the largest number of vacancies, yet its vacancies only meet 34% of potential need.

Notably, this is the largest percentage of need met among all zip codes8.

Zip codes with the largest numbers of TANF children have very low percentages of potential need met, as shown in Figure 3. Zip codes 90001, 90002, 90003, 90011, 90037, 90044, 90059, and 90250 have from 2,623 to 5,820 TANF children, yet none of these zip codes has more than 10% of potential need met through current vacancies. Five of these zip codes meet 5% of need or less.

The extreme mismatch of supply and demand in certain areas is an obstacle to finding child care for many parents. Because they must go beyond their immediate neighborhoods to find licensed care, travel distances will be farther for parents seeking this type of care. Further research is warranted to determine why supply is especially scarce in the above mentioned zip codes. Two possibilities are that there are barriers to entry for providers or that parents do not demand licensed care in these particular areas for specific reasons.

Special characteristics Spanish-speaking providers In zip codes with over 50% of TANF recipients indicating Spanish as their primary home language9 —90001, 90011, 90015, 90058, 90304—vacancies with Spanish-speaking providers are extremely low (see Figure 7). These zip codes have 3% or less of potential need met. It is 9

important to note that all children are factored into the percentages, although not all will need care in Spanish. Given that over 50% might need Spanish-speaking providers, these percentages are still very low. More than likely, Spanish-speaking families will need to rely on licenseexempt care if they require child care close to home. Even if they are willing to travel to access care, capacity and vacancies are limited throughout the service area (only 5% of overall potential need is met through vacancies with Spanish-speaking providers). Centers provide the majority of care in Spanish (88%) and have the majority of vacancies (73%).

Nonstandard hours Weekend and nighttime capacities meet only 4% and 1% of potential demand, respectively. Centers offer no nighttime care and very few offer weekend care. Therefore, licensed care during nonstandard hours, limited as it is, rests mainly with FCCs. It can be

Jill Cannon

assumed some capacity is already being used, though it is not determined for this report. Parents entering jobs with nonstandard hours will find it extremely difficult to locate licensed care if they prefer it, and they will have to rely almost exclusively on license-exempt child care. Crystal Stairs staff will be able to offer little help for families seeking nonstandard arrangements.

V. Conclusions and Recommendations The licensed child care supply in the Crystal Stairs service area will need to be greatly

increased in order to provide a full range of choices to parents and lessen the circumstances leading to “good cause� work exemptions. All age groups are potential targets for this increase because of the magnitude of the supply and demand gap, but especially infants and school-aged care. If licensed supply is not increased, Crystal Stairs will be limited in the help it can provide its clients through referrals. Families will need to rely predominantly on license-exempt care, and it is unknown whether or not license-exempt care will be able to fill the supply gap. The net result, unless a conscious effort is made to increase supply, is that many TANF parents will find it difficult to meet their CalWORKs work requirements due to lack of reasonably available child care. Ultimately, this child care problem could limit the effectiveness of welfare reform.

Based on the impact analysis, several broad actions are recommended to build capacity and lessen the gap between licensed supply and potential demand: Target school-aged and infant care specifically, while recognizing all age groups will benefit from increased supply.

Data shows school-aged care will experience the largest gap, closely followed by infant care.

One approach to increasing the supply relatively quickly would be to encourage existing providers to expand their capacities (e.g., provide technical assistance). 2,784 potential spaces could be created by encouraging small FCC providers to expand their capacities by

Jill Cannon

-25-

six spaces each. This alone would increase the number of vacancies by 50%. This will have limited impact on infant spaces due to a regulated maximum number of infants per FCC, but it could help the shortage of school-aged supply. Parents of school-aged children might prefer their children receive care in their neighborhood, close to friends and classmates, and FCCs would provide this. Likewise, centers can be encouraged to expand their capacities using existing space, if possible. Additionally, new providers should be encouraged to offer school-aged and infant care, not just preschool care. Longer-term capacity building will require more concentrated efforts beyond the scope of this report (e.g., training or funding new providers).

Prioritize capacity-building efforts in or near the zip codes with the largest numbers of TANF children where potential demand far exceeds licensed vacancies for all age groups.

Determine if there are possible barriers for the provision of licensed supply (e.g., unsafe neighborhoods or lack of demand due to cost). If true barriers exist, determine which nearby areas could best supply recipients with licensed child care.

Target care during nonstandard hours when many TANF recipients will need to work.

Encourage centers to operate on weekends. Currently, only 3% of centers offer care on weekends, yet they have larger capacities than FCCs. Their ability to accommodate large numbers of children in one location is logical for targeted weekend care. Likewise, only 25% of FCCs currently offer weekend care, so they would be potential targets, although they have more limited staff and space. Additionally, encourage centers and FCCs to extend their hours of operation beyond traditional work hours on weekdays to accommodate shifts starting before or ending after the typical 9-to-5.

Determine the extent of under-supply for care in Spanish.

While it is commonly claimed that Latino families prefer relative care for their children, the scarcity of Spanish-speaking providers raises an interesting issue and causes reflection on common assumptions. Is there a lack of this type of care because parents do not demand it, or do parents choose license-exempt care because they have limited options? A survey of Spanish-speaking TANF parents will provide insight into whether or not they would use licensed child care if it were available in Spanish. If it is determined they would, capacitybuilding efforts should include encouraging Spanish-speaking FCC providers to expand and FCCs to hire bilingual assistants. The majority of centers already provide care in Spanish, but the 93 centers that do not should be encouraged to offer it. Efforts to increase the supply of care in Spanish should be targeted first in the five zip codes highlighted in this report 90001, 90011, 90015, 90058, 90304.
