Starting Friday, May 12, DHR will accept applications for Temporary Assistance for Stabilizing Child Care grants, which aim to reinforce the recovering child care industry in Alabama.
Applicants who qualify will receive $2,000 for each daytime child care slot, which is double the original grant amount.
“These grants are another key step toward resolving the complex challenges facing the child care industry,” said Alabama DHR Commissioner Nancy Buckner. “Although some obstacles remain, we are making steady progress thanks to our valuable partnerships with child care providers, advocates and policymakers.”
Allowable grant expenditures include employee pay, facility maintenance and purchases of classroom materials, cleaning supplies and meals.To qualify, providers must be licensed and operating in good standing with DHR at the time they apply and receive a grant.The grants are funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.
