The Mississippi Low-Income Child Care Initiative (MLICCI) was founded the day the 1998 CCDF Final Rule went into effect. MLICCI remains an organization focused on and committed to CCDF policy and mitigating its negative impact on parents and providers, lifting up its positive impact and creating additional economic security solutions for low-income mothers and their families. Now, in 2018, we offer the following report looking back on CCDF in Mississippi. Particularly, we hope this report can provide policymakers with some lessons learned and inform recommendations for where CCDF may be headed in Mississippi. (author abstract)
