Yolo County Childrens Alliance

What Yolo County Childrens Alliance does

Yolo County Children's Alliance (YCCA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 68-0526185) founded in 2002 and headquartered across Davis and West Sacramento, California. The organization is the designated Child Abuse Prevention Council of Yolo County and operates an integrated portfolio of programs organized around three pillars: Family Support, Parent Education, and Community Collaboration. Core services include a Family Resource Center providing emergency food, diapers, hygiene kits, health-coverage enrollment (Medi-Cal, Covered California, CalFresh), and free tax preparation through the VITA program; CalWORKs Child Care Subsidy administration; the Healthy Families Yolo County home visitation program covering pregnancy through age 3; Youth Employment Services under WIOA; Immigration Community Services; Homeless and Eviction Prevention; and the Strengthening Families in-home safety program. All services are delivered at no charge to eligible Yolo County residents in English, Spanish, Russian, Dari, and Pashto, with 3,187 children reached through direct support in 2025.

YCCA functions as a community-based service organization rather than a technology company. No public-facing API, proprietary platform, or custom software product is documented; service delivery depends on in-person operations at the Family Resource Center, home visitations, community events such as the Back-to-School Resource Fair and the November Community Giveaway Day, and referrals from government and community partners. Revenue is raised entirely through external sources: individual donations, corporate and foundation sponsorships with tiers ranging from $1,500 to $20,000, event-based fundraising such as the Big Day of Giving, and government grants including CalWORKs, WIOA workforce funding, and public health programs. The organization does not publicly disclose revenue figures.

YCCA operates within a broad partner ecosystem spanning more than 350 community organizations, anchored by Yolo County government, the Yolo County Office of Education, First 5 Yolo, the Yolo Food Bank, United Way California Capital Region, and multiple healthcare systems (Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, Dignity Health, Partnership HealthPlan of California). The organization reports 101-250 employees, is led by Executive Director Jeneba Lahai, and recently established a Director of CalAIM & Community Services role to pursue California's Medi-Cal reform funding. Strategic positioning rests on a statutory county designation, inter-agency coordination, and long-tenured institutional relationships rather than proprietary technology or proprietary data assets.
