THE Y FOR
HEALTHY LIVING
We focus our work in three key areas, because nurturing the potential of kids, helping people live healthier, and supporting our neighbors are fundamental to strengthening communities.
Alternative Payment
We offer child care subsidies for children through 12 years of age or up to 21 with exceptional needs. We make full or partial payment to qualified families whose income does not exceed the State Median Income Level (see below) and who have a need for child care.
Reasons for needing child care:
