Commissioner Dannhauser explains the criteria for child care voucher eligibility and the city's plans for recertifying existing recipients. The discussion focuses on how ACS will manage the voucher program given the funding constraints.
- Eligibility criteria: under 300% of federal poverty level, unhoused, or children with special needs
- 95% or more of currently enrolled families meet these criteria
- ACS plans to continue recertifying most existing recipients while maintaining a waitlist for new applicants
