SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) -- On Tuesday, Santa Clara County and Valley Health Foundation launched a $15 million grant program to boost child care.

In the county, officials say more than 700 licensed child care facilities closed over the last 10 years, 161 shut down during the pandemic.

The Child Care and Early Education Infrastructure Grant Program can help renovate, reopen, or expand existing operations.

Supervisor and Board President Susan Ellenberg said right now the county has 2,000 children holding state funded vouchers ready to pay for child care - but there are no facilities to take them.
