Resource and Referral Provider Vacancy Updating • Considering the current evolving public health emergency, R&Rs are strongly encouraged to: 1. Collect data on childcare supply no less than once a month to maintain the availability of childcare vacancies in real time. 2. Provide guidance and technical assistance to childcare providers so that they self-report any closures, both temporary and ongoing, not captured by the monthly updates. 11
