A Davis Street case specialist will get back to you within 48 hours if you do not qualify for child care payment assistance. If you do qualify for payment assistance, we will hold your application until new state funding becomes available. Be sure to check our website often to find out when new funding is available. Be aware that there are many applicants for state-subsidized child care, and not all families can receive assistance. We will call you, if you are eligible to receive any new state funding that becomes available. Your application will be valid for six months. If there has been a significant change in your employment or family status, such as: you have changed jobs, you have married or divorced, you have a new child, etc., you need to call us at: (510) 347-4620 to let us know, since that may affect your eligibility for assistance. Please do not fill out a new application. After six months, you will need to fill out a new application because your current application will expire. It is your responsibility to know when your application will expire. Sincerely, The Davis Street Children’s Services Department
