PSC members may be eligible for a subsidized child care benefit that is provided through the Child Care Facilitated Enrollment Project. This funding can be used to help pay for various types of child care providers and can save parents an average of $15,000 – $18,000 per year (per child) in child care expenses.
The program, developed by New York Union Child Care Coalition, a committee of the NYC Central Labor Council (NYCLC), aims to make quality child care more affordable for families in New York City with children up to 13 years of age. Parents must be working, live in New York City, and meet income restrictions (e.g. under $108,636 for a family of four).
To learn more about the subsidy, you can read this fact sheet and fill out a pre-screening form. PSC members can also attend an online information session hosted by the PSC at 7PM, Monday, March 10th. Register here for the Zoom meeting.
