Centralized Eligibility List (CEL)

What is a Centralized Eligibility List?
The Centralized Eligibility List (CEL) allows all subsidized child care providers in Del Norte County to access children who are eligible for their programs. The term "eligibility" is used to rank families by eligibility factors for subsidized care (family income, size, and need) and not just wait time on the list.

Benefits of the CEL are that families are enabled access to all programs for which they qualify, expanding their opportunity to subsidized care. Providers can potentially pull from a wider net of eligible families. Communities and counties can better address the demand for care, and state and federal funding can be more focused in addressing the needs of waiting families.

The Del Norte Child Care Council is the central contact for parents who are seeking subsidized child care in any state funded program in Del Norte County. All local programs that receive state funds to help parents with the cost of child care use the CEL to draw names of families eligible for child care.
