Bill Summary
Relative to providing child care assistance to homeless families. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide immediate childcare assistance to homeless families. It amends the state's laws to grant families residing in temporary shelters, including homeless shelters, automatic eligibility for subsidized full-time childcare for at least 6 months. After 6 months, the family's financial and other eligibility factors would be verified to continue receiving the childcare subsidy. The bill also allows families to continue receiving the subsidy for 30 days after leaving the shelter, and permits them to continue receiving the subsidy if they meet the income eligibility requirements for an ongoing childcare assistance program.
