Virginia leaders encourage enrollment in subsidized child care program

Virginians have until July 31 to apply

ROANOKE, Va. – State leaders are encouraging Virginians to take part in a new childcare program.

Earlier this month, Governor Ralph Northam announced Virginia would be receiving more than $200 million in stimulus funding to expand child care across the state. New income eligibility levels allow families with a household income of up to 85% of the state median income to apply if they have a child under age five,

“We’re really excited about a new childcare subsidy program that came through for the General Assembly this year. Part of the speaker’s bill and now working families have even a greater option that they need to apply,” First Lady of Virginia Pam Northam said.

Virginians have until July 31 to apply for the program.
