- Childcare block grant funding supports mandated vouchers, ACS low-income vouchers, and some DOE contracts
- Current federal fiscal year faces a $125 million gap
- Next federal fiscal year could see an $860 million gap without additional allocation from Albany
- Council Member Stevens requests a detailed breakdown of vouchers by type and borough

So the child care block grant funding supports first the mandated vouchers, ACS low income vouchers, as well as some of the DOE contracts, New York City Public Schools.

We are looking at about $125,000,000 gap in this federal fiscal year and about an $860,000,000 gap in next federal fiscal year should there not be an additional allocation in Albany.
