Each Took Kit has supplies (pens, clipboards, tape,
signs, decorations and much more), directions on
how to host a voter registration activity and voter
registration cards. And, yes it is FREE! – All we ask
is that you reach out to 25 individuals in your
community.
Tool Kits are not to be used at Head Start worksites, but are available to all Head Start parents, friends and alumni. Programs must comply with all federal laws pertaining to elections and voter registration activities.

California Preschool Energy Efficiency Program
(CPEEP) is a collaboration of organizations: California
Head Start Association, Low-Income Investment
Fund, Intergy Corporation, and the California
Department of Education (consultation and support).
CPEEP is funded by the California Public Utility
Commission through two Southern California utilities -
Southern California Edison (SCE) & San Diego Gas
and Electric (SDGE). This $4.2 million program will
replace older, energy-intensive equipment and
provide a variety of facility upgrades to assist you in
controlling your energy costs, and thus, reducing
your operational costs.
Generally, the program covers about 80 percent of qualified equipment and installation costs. This can mean that for a few hundred dollars, a center can achieve reductions in energy use that will quickly recover its costs and start saving you money! CPEEP: Who Can Receive Funding? Eligible childcare
centers include Head Start, state-contracted and
private centers served by: Southern California Edison
(SCE) San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE) Priority is
given to centers:
that have the greatest potential for energy
savings as determined by a free energy audit
buildings at least 25 years old serving low-income families. CPEEP: Needs Assessment – We ask that all programs complete asurvey on their programs. In particular this phase of the project is focused on programs operating in San Diego, Los Angeles, Imperial, San Bernardino, Ventura, Riverside, Orange and Kern counties; however CPEEP Needs Assessment is as statewide survey. To receive your copy of the Needs Assessment forms call Paula @ CHSA (916) 444-7760 |
