Description:
New CCDF funding allocations have positioned Georgia to accelerate efforts that strengthen the safety and quality of child care while making it more affordable for working families. But all of the positive plans resulting from the latest increase in CCDF mostly applies to a very small share of Georgia's families. To date, the amount of funding available limits access to potentially hundreds of thousands of children that may be in need of child care. Permanently raising the state and federal funding allocation levels for CCDF in future years will allow Georgia to widen access to the child care subsidy program to serve a greater number of families while continuing to build a robust and affordable industry of high-quality child care providers.
