The Colocation Program provides Child Care Resource and Referral services to Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) clients, specifically at the Laguna Hills, Santa Ana, and Anaheim SSA offices. Staff serve SSA clients by assisting them in locating child care to enable them to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency. SSA clients include, but are not limited to, applicants for California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Act (CalWORKs), Welfare-to-Work (WTW) participants, and participants discontinued from CalWORKs. In addition to enhanced child care referrals, services include consumer education, child care orientations/workshops, assistance with the TrustLine registration process, and the CalWORKs Stage 1 to 2 and Stage 3 referral process.
