Briefly

After a lengthy legal struggle, Alameda County is poised to distribute nearly $166 million in emergency funding from Measure C to support early childhood education and health care. This funding, finalized by the county's Board of Supervisors, aims to revive a severely impacted care economy due to the pandemic. The Measure, approved by 65% of voters, mandates a half-cent sales tax to raise approximately $150 million annually for 20 years, but a lawsuit hindered its funds until the state Supreme Court upheld it last April.
Five years after Measure C was approved, Alameda County is set to distribute nearly $166 million in emergency funding to child care providers, boosting services.

The legal battle that delayed funding for Measure C has now ended, allowing the county to allocate nearly $500 million raised since July 2021.
