CCC collects grant and other dollars from some 16 different funding streams -and allocates subsidy dollars to child care providers. on behalf of parents of enrolled children. In some circumstances the parents are reimbursed directly, rather than the providers. In this manner, we bring some sense of order to chaotic federal and state funding mechanisms by offering a very customer-friendly, integrated, lIone-stop shoppingll service for families. CCC is the only agency providing this function in Pinellas County. Therefore, no duplication of services occurs. 3 " ..rtlllLllUJ,mJlL.J- 4.;~~L:,.:_..rr-~~~"-,~- ,j " J CCC recently moveJinto the Clearwater CenLre Iffice build~ng at 1100 Cleveland street as the core north county serv~ce outpost.
