Learning about Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) Overview
Virtual Workshops
Is the cost of child care impacting your decision to start that new job or career? On average, families spend at least 10% of their income on child care. NY is expanding eligibility to make child care assistance available to more families to help pay for the cost of child care. If you are working, looking for a new job, or attending an education or training program you may be eligible for child care assistance. Even if you have applied in the past and found ineligible, you may be eligible now due to the expansion of eligibility guidelines. Join the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) for an interactive session to learn more about the CCAP.
