Describe the challenge you want to address:
When parents are transitioning from trainings or school to jobs and receive assistance, they automatically lose all resources especially childcare and its worse for parents who have jobs with non-traditional hours and its important to provide at least 24 hr care.
What is the solution to the challenge?
A 24 hr childcare program housed in an organization that would provide financial literacy during a parents transition from training/school or just a new job and 24 hr childcare that comes from other members of the org, volunteers, students or those training to do childcare and pay them from PB to assist parents for an additional 6 moths-a year as a safety net and then an additional year as a sliding scale fee.
