20211110-002aii: Recommendation about Child Care Scholarship System (Corrected) — original pdf
Tamara Atkinson, CEO, Workforce Solutions Capital Area Melanie Flowers, Board Chair, Workforce Solutions Capital Area November 12, 2021 To: From: City of Austin Early Childhood Council Introduction In April and May of 2021, the Early Childhood Council (ECC) of the City of Austin heard from parents, child care providers, and community members about challenges they have faced successfully navigating the child care subsidy system. The ECC shared these concerns with Workforce Solutions (WFS) Capital Area Child Care Program Staff, and WFS staff graciously led a presentation and discussion at the August 2021 and September 2021 ECC meetings. As a result of these discussions, the Early Childhood Council is interested in collaborating with Workforce Solutions Capital Area to support efforts to engage with community members and to create systemic improvements in the administrative processes that establish eligibility, initial enrollment, and recertification as well as addressing client/provider questions. The ECC Council members acknowledge that WFS, as part of a state system, has to accommodate state and federal administrative burdens. We appreciate how the agency seeks to provide high quality services with limited resources, and want to lend our voice and efforts to collaborate on problem solving. Background: According to the Early Childhood Council Bylaws, the Council is responsible for recommendations to Austin City Council including the following: ● develop, for recommendation to city council, programs and activities that contribute to the continued development of a system of high-quality early care and education and after school programs for Austin's children; ● develop, for recommendation to city council, strategies encouraging individuals and agencies to continually improve the quality of their services for young children; As part of these responsibilities, the ECC launched a Community Engagement & Partnerships Work Group to build authentic, two-way paths of communication between the greater Austin community and the ECC in order to strengthen the policy and advocacy work of the ECC and amplify community voice and perspectives. The Work Group launched efforts in 2020 to hear directly from the community about their specific needs. In April 2021, the ECC Community Engagement and Partnerships Work Group heard from parents, child care providers, and community members about challenges they faced trying to navigate the child care subsidy system. In May 2021, the full ECC heard a presentation from community members about their concerns and experiences with the subsidy system. In addition, some written testimonials were submitted.

To the north is a single-family home zoned SF-3-NP with primary frontage on Carson Ridge. The FLUM shows Transportation on this property presumably because the plan supported the extension of Carson Ridge, an undeveloped road that has proposed right-of-way through this property. The property to the south is a single-family home zoned CS-NP with a future land use of Commercial.

The request will also add additional housing units and types to the Montopolis planning area and the city. The Montopolis Plan supports creating homes for all stages of life and the creation of multiple housing types. 2 2 of 23B-5 Planning Commission: November 9, 2021 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Single family - Detached or two-family residential uses at typical urban and/or …
