More Funding Available To Encourage Employers To Offer Child Care

Des Moines, Iowa — A third round of funding is now available for the Child Care Business Incentive Grant Program to encourage employers to offer child care as a benefit to their employees.

Funds may be used to support arrangements between employers and child care facilities to reserve child care slots and applicants can apply for up to 250-thousand dollars.

The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services is administering the program and will hold a zoom call on October 10th to provide more information. Go to the HHS website to find out more about that call.
