CLEVELAND — Anjoua Smith is a Northeast Ohio mother of three who is living with increasing childcare costs and understands how a growing number of working families are having to make tough financial choices.
“There’s more that the county can do, there’s more that the state government can do when it comes to the well-being of our children," Smith said. “If I don’t have the proper credentials, I don’t have the care, now I don’t have a job, so how do I work and provide and feed my children.” Hamm believes the State of Ohio needs to examine what other states are doing to address growing childcare costs better.
But Policy Matters Ohio Operations Specialist Ali Smith is wondering if the new Child Care Choice Voucher Program will be enough to solve the state's childcare issues truly. Smith pointed to a new report issued by her agency which asked if the program will have dedicated, permanent funding from the General Revenue Fund.
