Family child care homes are reimbursed using a two-tiered system. Tier 1 covers homes in low-income areas, low-income providers, and children from low-income homes. FRAC’s CACFP Food Mapper identifies low-income areas in which child care homes would qualify for Tier 1 reimbursement through Census data. Census data is especially useful for qualifying sites in rural areas or where pockets of poverty exist within affluent areas. (author abstract)
