CCRS also received over 1,500 technical assistance requests.
Technical assistance refers to requests for information or advice other than child care referrals.
Figure 3 reveals that of the 2,372 families who called seeking child care referrals, over half were single parent families. Callers to CCRS are asked their family size and income to determine their fee assessment for one year of CCRS services. The CCRS also asks callers about their current child care subsidy status. Information on subsidy status was provided for 1,784 of the 3,487 children for whom child care was requested. Other refers to any other form of financial assistance such as from an agency, employer, or scholarship.
