Child Care Subsidies Work GroupIn 2010, TECEC will be working closely with Representative Mark Strama’s office on interim charges that seek to improve the child care subsidy system in Texas. Subsidized child care helps low-income parents maintain stable employment, which is vital to the well-being of their families. Quality child care can also ensure the safety and healthy development of our youngest Texans. In order to address some of the problems with this system, including low reimbursement rates, delayed payments, and underfunded quality initiatives, TECEC will raise public awareness, conduct extensive research, develop policy recommendations, and organize communities for action.
