In a move that could have significant ramifications for families across New York, Governor Kathy Hochul has put forth a proposal to establish a $110 million Child Care Construction Fund. This fund aims to address child care deserts by building new and renovating existing child care facilities, as detailed in an announcement reported by the official statement from the Governor’s office. The proposed grants will be available to both non-profit and for-profit child care providers, including family child care programs, with a focus on creating safe and reliable child care options.
