The agreements provided for a monetary contribution on the part of the property owners for child care mitigation and for the Contra Costa Centre Association to undertake a Child Care Subsidy Program with the interest earnings on said funds. Funds could also be used for capital contributions to child care projects that would increase the amount of available child care space that serves the Contra Costa Centre Area. Contra Costa Centre has developed and implemented a Child Care Subsidy Program since 1993. The program provides for a subsidy payment to the qualified employees to offset a portion of their child care costs. The Contra Costa Centre Association anticipates subsidizing only those families whose incomes fall below $54,000 annually. Child care costs would be reimbursed on a sliding scale. The program budget allows approximately 40 participant families. On average, the families pay $150 per week for child care expenses. The Child Care Subsidy Program reimburses an average of $75.00 per month.
