Description:
The CARES Act directs an additional $3.5 billion for Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) to the states, without requiring additional state matching funds, and enhances flexibility even more. This flexibility includes using funds to provide assistance to essential employees, regardless of their income, and it includes making funds available to providers to sustain or resume operations. Home Grown encourages state leaders to act quickly to invest these new dollars in home-based child care and the families who count on home-based child care. (author abstract)
