Family Support Programs
Family Support Programs
We connect hundreds of English, Spanish and Russian speaking families to available community services. Every year we assist an average of 900 people with health insurance, food subsidies, and more.
Access to Food
YCCA is committed to helping people get access to healthy food. We do this through two programs: fresh produce distribution and CalFresh enrollment.
We distribute fresh produce each week at the West Sacramento Family Resource Center (FRC) twice a month at the Clarksburg FRC. This service is open to everyone in Yolo County, including families and seniors.
CalWORKs Child Care Subsidy Payment Program
Working with Yolo County Health & Human Services Agency, parents, and child care providers, we facilitate payment to providers for their services.
Since June 2016, Yolo County Children’s Alliance has been administering the Yolo Health & Human Services Agency’s CalWORKs Stage 1 Child Care Subsidy Program. This program supports parents pay for child care so they can work or attend school. Working closely with the HHSA CalWORKs division, YCCA facilitates payment to the child care providers for their services.
If you are interested in learning more about CalWORKs or the Child Care Subsidy Program, please call the HHSA CalWORKs division at: 530-661-2750 in Woodland or 916-375-6200 in West Sacramento. Find them online HERE and HERE.

Developmental Screenings
Using the Help Me Grow program, YCCA offers developmental screenings to all parents and children ages 0-5 in order to identify early signs of developmental and behavioral issues. If needed, YCCA helps children and parents get connected to community-based developmental and behavioral services and support in their community. We welcome referrals from organizations that serve families.
Health Insurance enrollment, retention, and navigation
YCCA wants to help everyone get access to health care. Through our Health Insurance Enrollment program, we help people get access to care, coverage, and other health-related resources. YCCA staff provide education about health insurance and health services options that are available to individuals, regardless of income. Community Resources Specialists will also personally walk a family through the process of applying or re-applying for health insurance and other available family support services, such as CalFresh or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
