"content": "\u003cp>The COVID-19 pandemic has been tough for California’s child care providers. Some saw their enrollment numbers plummet — along with their revenue — as families decided to keep children home. Others decided they couldn’t risk exposing themselves or their families to the virus and decided to shut down. The California Department of Social Services estimates more than 2,400 providers have permanently closed. Thousands more have weathered temporary closures. [aside tag=\"child-care-providers\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those that choose to remain open, it’s been rough going. Many saw their workloads increase as they opened their homes to kids who would normally be in school — more kids means more food and supplies. Providers are also required to take additional safety measures to protect against the virus. That all adds up to increased costs for providers, who get little, if any, help from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Child care workers are considered essential. And in the beginning of the pandemic, the state initially allocated $100 million to expand child care, and pay for protective equipment and cleaning supplies for providers. But that money has been spent, and additional support from the federal government has not materialized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s newly formed Child Care Providers United union represents providers who watch kids that receive state subsidies for care. The union filed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11847863/child-care-providers-say-californias-subsidized-system-is-collapsing-under-pandemic-pressure\">unfair labor practice complaint\u003c/a> against the state in November, accusing officials of failing to collaborate with providers on solutions to pandemic-related issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katina Richardson owns and operates The Little’s Daycare out of her home in Hayward.

Some saw their enrollment numbers plummet — along with their revenue — as families decided to keep children home. Others decided they couldn’t risk exposing themselves or their families to the virus and decided to shut down. The California Department of Social Services estimates more than 2,400 providers have permanently closed. Thousands more have weathered temporary closures. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many saw their workloads increase as they opened their homes to kids who would normally be in school — more kids means more food and supplies. Providers are also required to take additional safety measures to protect against the virus. That all adds up to increased costs for providers, who get little, if any, help from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Child care workers are considered essential. And in the beginning of the pandemic, the state initially allocated $100 million to expand child care, and pay for protective equipment and cleaning supplies for providers. But that money has been spent, and additional support from the federal government has not materialized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s newly formed Child Care Providers United union represents providers who watch kids that receive state subsidies for care.

Yu monitors how many of her neighbors are in the building’s communal kitchen at one time: If there are more than two people inside, she will hold off cooking and wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the coronavirus pandemic, Yu would usually wait in a long line in order to use the communal kitchen, but with the city’s social distancing orders in place – and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11814970/bay-area-shelter-in-place-orders-extended-through-may-31\">shelter-in-place orders extended through the end of May\u003c/a> – queuing in tight hallways and cooking shoulder-to-shoulder with neighbors is no longer a safe or viable option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yu, who shares the SRO with her husband and two young daughters, is one of roughly 13,000 residents in Chinatown who live in SROs. The one-room housing units are typically 80 square feet and make up about half of the neighborhood’s entire housing stock. As one of the last remaining affordable housing options in San Francisco, they are largely occupied by many senior residents and new Chinese immigrant families.

He added that many SRO residents work in Chinatown’s restaurants – a common starter job for new Chinese immigrants – and because they recently lost their employment, they weren’t able to bring extra meals home from work. So cooking at home in risky communal kitchens became even more of a necessity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Malcolm Yeung, Chinatown Community Development Center executive director\"]‘We’re feeding the most vulnerable, we’re activating restaurants, but I think the most important thing we’re trying to do is just reduce the chances of transmission.

And so, by early March, CCDC sprung into action in an attempt to decrease kitchen usage.

As part of San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfdbi.org/SRO\">SRO Families United Collaborative\u003c/a>, CCDC has a direct relationship with more than 350 Chinatown families who have children under the age of 18. Through fundraising and the support of philanthropic dollars, CCDC raised enough money to set up a takeout meal program, where SRO families can pick up two cooked meals – lunch and dinner – for each member of their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program also has an additional benefit: CCDC reopened the doors of New Asia, one of Chinatown’s last two remaining large community banquet restaurants, and paid the restaurant’s owner to rehire some of his staff members to cook about 700 takeout meals for SRO families each day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, New Asia looks like a shell of what it used to be: yellow tablecloths drape its table and furniture, and the lights remain mostly off until SRO families begin arriving by around 11:30 a.m. to pick up their boxed meals. Instead of its usual hectic environment, where waiters hustle in and out through its doors and cooks stir fry dishes on flaming hot woks, the kitchen is now a quiet assembly line. Last Friday afternoon, seven staff members scooped white rice, broccoli and chicken into takeout boxes, which were then placed into white “thank you” takeout bags that lined the tables at the restaurant’s entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11816431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11816431\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Chinatown-Meal-Pickup-new-asia.jpg\" alt=\"Meals are distrubted at New Asia restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown on April 5, 2020.

He added that many SRO residents work in Chinatown’s restaurants – a common starter job for new Chinese immigrants – and because they recently lost their employment, they weren’t able to bring extra meals home from work. So cooking at home in risky communal kitchens became even more of a necessity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And so, by early March, CCDC sprung into action in an attempt to decrease kitchen usage. They pivoted their employees from their usual affordable housing work and came up with a strategy to feed their most vulnerable clients: about 300 elderly residents that live in nine of CCDC’s SRO buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a huge logistical effort, according to Yeung, and it required partnering with San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.selfhelpelderly.org/san-francisco\">Self-Help for the Elderly\u003c/a>, redeploying about 60 CCDC staff members and relying on about 100 volunteers to package meals and deliver them straight to the doorsteps of each senior resident’s SRO unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11816448\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11816448\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43015_030_KQED_SanFrancisco_ChinatownMeals_05052020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"CCDC community organzier Kitty Fong at New Asia restaurant in Chinatown on April 5, 2020.

Fong said elderly residents eagerly express enthusiasm and gratitude for their daily meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever I get into the building, they rush out and welcome us, like, ‘Oh, you’re here, we’ve been waiting!’ They are just really welcoming, but at the same time, you’ll have to remind them: ‘OK, but please keep social distancing!’ ” Fong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Helping Chinatown’s Anchor Businesses Stay Afloat\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After implementing the senior resident meal program successfully, CCDC looked at other ways of expanding the program to feed even more Chinatown SRO residents. As part of San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfdbi.org/SRO\">SRO Families United Collaborative\u003c/a>, CCDC has a direct relationship with more than 350 Chinatown families who have children under the age of 18. Through fundraising and the support of philanthropic dollars, CCDC raised enough money to set up a takeout meal program, where SRO families can pick up two cooked meals – lunch and dinner – for each member of their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program also has an additional benefit: CCDC reopened the doors of New Asia, one of Chinatown’s last two remaining large community banquet restaurants, and paid the restaurant’s owner to rehire some of his staff members to cook about 700 takeout meals for SRO families each day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, New Asia looks like a shell of what it used to be: yellow tablecloths drape its table and furniture, and the lights remain mostly off until SRO families begin arriving by around 11:30 a.m. to pick up their boxed meals. Instead of its usual hectic environment, where waiters hustle in and out through its doors and cooks stir fry dishes on flaming hot woks, the kitchen is now a quiet assembly line. Last Friday afternoon, seven staff members scooped white rice, broccoli and chicken into takeout boxes, which were then placed into white “thank you” takeout bags that lined the tables at the restaurant’s entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11816431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11816431\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Chinatown-Meal-Pickup-new-asia.jpg\" alt=\"Meals are distrubted at New Asia restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown on April 5, 2020.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
