About this Nominee
Hively builds meaningful connections with families and communities, ensuring access to resources every child in Alameda County needs to thrive. Our vision is to transform the lives of children and families to benefit all communities and ensure a promising future for generations to come. Hively supports families through child care stipends and referrals, family resource navigation, parent education classes, and clinical mental health services.
Hively connects income-eligible families with Child Care assistance through CalWorks Subsidy and California Alternative Payment programs provided by state and federal funds. Our Family Support Specialists help families locate the child care that best fits their family’s needs.
Our two Family Resource Centers in Pleasanton & Oakland provide a one-stop shop for families to access basic essentials, free-of-charge, such as, children’s clothing, shoes, books and early learning materials. Our resource centers also act as a support and education resource hub for both families and child care providers.
Hively Mental Health offers counseling services in three Alameda County locations for all ages, toddler to adult, via Medi-Cal and private pay options. Our clinicians are licensed marriage and family therapists and pre-licensed trainees.
Hively helps families access essential benefits through Covered California and CalFresh. Our team provides guidance to help families explore affordable health insurance options, understand eligibility, and complete applications through Covered California. We also assist with CalFresh applications so families can receive monthly food benefits to stretch their grocery budgets and ensure access to healthy meals.
This year we are celebrating 50 years of services to all of Alameda County!
