Workforce Initiatives Fund Grant | United Way of the Coastal Empire Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube Open mobile menu Close mobile menu Together with our partners at United Way of the Coastal Empire (UWCE) and Child Care Resource & Referral of Southeast Georgia at Savannah Technical College (CCR&R), the Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA) is excited to offer the Workforce Initiatives Fund, which will be used to advance targeted workforce solutions with the first use being assisting licensed child care facilities in Chatham County to become Quality Rated through capital improvement mini-grants.
Having more Quality Rated centers will have both immediate and long-term benefits to the availability and quality of workforce in this region. If child care centers fail to become Quality Rated, Savannah could lose many, much-needed subsidized child care funds and it could have an immediate disruption to families and people’s ability to work. Long term, it could impact a child’s readiness for the school environment.
Qualified child care providers can apply for mini-grants to cover capital improvements including shelving, flooring, playground surfaces, building repairs and fence repairs, and other improvements that help facilities become Quality Rated.
