Child Care Stabilization Sub-Grant Information
Funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) supports the recovery and stabilization of child care providers across the nation. In Ohio, this money is now available to child care programs in the form of Stabilization Sub-grants. Since these funds are being distributed through grants that means the money does not need to be paid back if it is used according to the guidelines.
All ODJFS licensed programs in good standing and open as of 11/28/21 are eligible to receive Phase 1 funds. A child care program doesn’t need to be SUTQ-rated or provide care for families using publicly funded child care to apply for these Stabilization Sub-grants. Phase 2 funds are also available for eligible programs now, including new programs licensed after Feb 1, 2022. Read More about Child Care Stabilization Sub-Grant Information »
