This report was based on semi-structured interviews with state child care advocates and/or administrators in five states: Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, and Oregon. These states were selected because they had diversity in size and region of the country and because each had a higher percentage of children receiving child care assistance who were in FFN care than the percentage nationwide--13 percent in Idaho, 23 percent in Illinois, 24 percent in Michigan, 21 percent in Nevada, and 36 percent in Oregon, compared to 9 percent nationally in 2016 (the most recent year for which data are available). This report does not assess the overall effectiveness of these particular states' efforts to implement the new requirements for FFN providers; instead, the report uses these states' experiences to illustrate challenges and offer lessons that can apply to all states as they work with FFN providers to comply with the new requirements.
