Traditionally, the financial burden of child care has fallen solely on parents, but the MI Tri-Share Child Care Program (Tri-Share), which launched as a pilot in three regions in March 2021, represents a new and unique approach. By evenly splitting the cost of care between three payers, as shown in Exhibit 1, eligible working families can reduce their costs and enter or remain in the workforce, which benefits everyone. Since its launch, the pilot has continued to enroll participants and expand to new regions. At this critical stage in the program's development, the Michigan Women’s Commission (MWC), which administers the program, partnered with Public Sector Consultants (PSC) to assess Tri-Share processes, operations, and progress towards programmatic objectives. The evaluation will be used for future program development, refinement, and expansion. (author abstract)
