Dear John,
This pandemic has really strained working parents and their children, who, over the past year, have faced increasing childcare, education and food security challenges. It hasn’t been easy, and we recognized that more needed to be done for families amid our fight against COVID-19.
The American Rescue Plan will help childcare providers in our Commonwealth keep their doors open and reduce costs for struggling families, while expanding the Child Tax Credit to help parents provide for their kids and combat the child poverty problem made worse by this pandemic.
