Austin city leaders are working to build out a grant program to help provide financial assistance for certain home-based child care providers, according to a city memo released last week.
Austin Public Health and the city’s Economic Development Department are recommending the new grant program be enacted, with the following eligibility criteria:
- State of Texas licensure or registration
- Location with Austin’s full purpose jurisdiction
- Active agreement with Workforce Solutions Capital Area
- Participation in the Texas Rising Star program, featuring entry-level designation or higher
