HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) -- The Wolf Administration is set to announce plans to boost an industry that's been crucial for many families. The plan is to distribute $655 million in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act to stabilize Pennsylvania’s child care industry.
Licensed child care providers will be able to submit applications for one-time grants. The department says the grant money can be used to cover almost any expense needed to help operations and fight the impacts of COVID-19.
Last year, Pennsylvania distributed $220 million dollars in federal COVID-19 aid to child care facilities that were hit hard by the pandemic.
