Santa Barbara County
Priority Zones for State Funding

In establishing the priorities the Council considers, for each of the county zip code areas, the numbers of children eligible for state-funded programs, the number of spaces in state and federally funded early care and education programs, and the number and percentage of eligible children not served by current programs.
