The city is partnering with San Diego-based TOOTRiS to allocate anywhere from $100 to $1,000 in monthly child-care benefits to eligible city employees
Since then, the city’s Office of Child and Youth Success, whichas the first city agency focused on challenges facing youth, has been working to find ways to close that disparity gap, according to Executive Director Andrea O’Hara.
“So not only is this benefit great for recruitment and retention for city employees, but also will help current employees that want to continue advancing,” O’Hara said. Once applications are reviewed and approved by the city, child-care benefit payments will be dispersed directly to child-care providers monthly via the TOOTRiS platform, starting in September.
The pilot program was funded through a $2 million federal community project grant secured by Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-San Diego, who represents the 51st Congressional District. “Supporting San Diego’s city employees with child care benefits — especially those with the most need — makes strong fiscal sense,” Lezama said. “By giving its working parents direct access to licensed child care, no matter the time of day, or day of the week their shifts fall, the city of San Diego led by Mayor Todd Gloria is empowering its workforce and their families and leading the way for other employers in our region to follow.
