CCDF child care subsidies help low-income families with children under age 13 pay for child care so that parents can work or participate in training or education activities. Parents typically receive subsidies in the form of vouchers that they can use with a provider of their choice — such as a relative, neighbor, child care center, or after-school program. States and Territories have a great deal of flexibility to establish child care subsidy policies to meet their needs. Thus, national data on the characteristics of families served masks a large degree of variation across individual States as observed in the preliminary FY 2019 data tables available at https://acf.hhs.gov/occ/data/fy-2019-ccdf-data-tables-preliminary Data Product Type: Fact Sheet |

This biennial Report to Congress for fiscal year (FY) 2016 and FY 2017 was prepared in accordance with Section 658L of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act, as amended. The report provides information about the role of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) in helping eligible low-income working families to access child care, and improving the quality of child care programs for all children. CCDF is a multi-billion dollar federal and state partnership administered by the Office of Child Care (OCC) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). CCDF provides funding to states, territories, and tribes for child care subsidies to help low-income families with children under age 13 pay for child care so that parents can work or participate in training or education activities. Parents typically receive subsidies in the form of vouchers or certificates that they can use with a provider of their choice–whether a relative, neighbor, child care center, or after-school program. CCDF provides grants and contracts to providers in some states. States, territories, and tribes have a great deal of flexibility to establish child care subsidy policies to meet the needs of the families they serve. Data Product Type: Report |

This priorities report includes analysis of ACF-801 administrative data and summary information from 2019-2021 CCDF state plans. The CCDBG Act of 2014, and associated 2016, CCDF regulation require additional data elements to be reported by states, which will enable us to better understand how states are providing priority services to these populations including data on children experiencing homelessness and children with disabilities (who are often included in the priority for children with special needs). Data available from these new elements is still limited, as states are working to improve the quality and completeness of this reporting. In order for states to report the new data elements, states must identify resources to make changes to their existing systems, and to establish the processes and procedures to collect and report these data. These changes included: 1) modify their application forms and policy materials to implement consistent definitions; 2) update application forms to include new questions; 3) update training materials and develop procedures to train state and local staff on the new requirements; 4) modify their data collection systems to collect and report these new data elements; and 5) potentially implement data sharing agreements to obtain data from other state systems.
