What a $4.38 Billion Increase in CCDBG Annual Discretionary Funding Could Mean for Your State
Today, CLASP released a fact sheet estimating the distribution of federal discretionary Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) funding based on the $4.38 billion child care advocacy community appropriations ask [[link removed]] for FY 2024, for all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Under this proposed increase from CLASP and other partners and advocates, CLASP estimates that up to 386,000 additional children could gain access to child care assistance . As it stands, the program only served 1 in 6 eligible children in 2019 due to limited federal funding .
The annual appropriations process is an important opportunity to increase federal investments in programs to respond to increased need and ensure funding keeps up with rising inflation. These increases allow states to make targeted investments in expanding access to care for children, reducing costs for families, and increasing wages for providers. The increases in funding for states range from an additional $5 million in Wyoming to $482 million in Texas. Read the full fact sheet [[link removed]] .
