Homeless Child Care Program

ACCESS (Accessible Child Care Expedited for the Shelter System SF) assists families with at least one child under 3 years of age who are living or have lived within the past six months in homeless or domestic violence shelter to obtain child care to stabilize their situation and support their progression to transitional or permanent housing.  Families who meet eligibility requirements may be referred to ACCESS by case managers who work in shelters for homeless families.
