2024-2025 State Budget Request - Maintain Current Funding and One-Time $50 Million Child Care Facilities Funding
The Infrastructure Grant Program has supported over 5,000 child care providers with grants totaling over $350 million to fund repair and renovation projects to expand and enhance both home-based and center-based childcare facilities. This funding, while a historically large state investment, still did not serve all applicants. In our letter, we urge the Legislature to maintain their commitment to distributing IGP Major Repair & New Construction grants to awarded providers and to add a one-time $50 million allocation to continue funding the IGP.
