APHA 2025 Annual Meeting and Expo
Kimberly Thai is a Program Manager at the Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) in San Francisco overseeing the administration of the Child Care Facilities Fund (CCFF). San Francisco's CCFF provides funding, training, and technical assistance to early education providers in order to create and improve facilities (both family child care and center-based) for the children and adults who use them. LIIF and CCFF are leaders in early education, influencing decisions about high-quality early care and learning facilities. Building from this expertise, Kimberly brought San Francisco into the IAQ study in order to learn from and with environmental health experts to further strengthen the technical assistance to early education educators and business owners provided by LIIF nationwide. Kimberly leveraged decades of relationships and experience to enhance technical assistance on environmental health and indoor air quality within the existing San Francisco facilities fund work. In this panel, Ms. Thai will share the voices of the study participants through testimonials as well as share the impact of this partnership and project on our overall work including lessons learned and future impacts.
