CACFP has the potential to reach many families with low income to support improved food security, diet quality, and financial stability. Yet just over half of FCCHs in California participate. Previously HER-funded research shows this is due in part to complex program administrative burdens. This project will develop and pilot a peer navigator intervention to increase Child and Adult Food Care Program (CACFP) claiming and retention by Family Child Care Homes (FCCH) serving families with low income. This pilot will involve FCCHs in California, most of which are run by women of color and care for children from households of color and low income. We will hire and train 6 bilingual peer navigators to work with 30 FCCH providers newly enrolled on CACFP over 6 months, compared to 30 control FCCHs. Data will be collected at baseline, 1 and 6 months after intervention in both groups by online survey (English or Spanish). Survey outcomes will include extent to which barriers have been overcome and program satisfaction. Cost of the intervention will be estimated based on hourly wages and time spent providing technical assistance to FCCHs. CACFP participation data will be collected from sponsoring organizations on duration of CACFP participation and the total amount of CACFP reimbursement requested and received by participating FCCHs in both groups over the 6 months.
