ECFC Member Huddle: Let’s Talk about the Federal Child Care and Development Fund Final Rule
This event was held on March 21, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT
On March 21, ECFC hosted a member huddle on the new rule for the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) announced by the Department of Health and Human Services. The new rule aims to lower child care costs for families, improve payment practices for providers and expand access to child care assistance for working families. We discussed these exciting changes, and how funders can help make that change happen as soon as possible in their states and communities.
This huddle was not recorded. ECFC is compiling a resource document for foundations to consider ways they can keep pushing for equitable implementation of the new rule following our huddle.
