Reopening NJ: Gov. Phil Murphy unveils child care relief funding for families and facilities - WABC-TV

METUCHEN, New Jersey (WABC) -- New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Friday the creation of a $250 million COVID Child Care Initiative, designed to help families and daycare facilities that have been struggling since the start of the pandemic.

Since March, nearly half of the state's 4,000 child care centers have remained closed, Murphy said.

6393413

And as schools begin distance learning this fall, the need for child care has also increased.

So the funding, which has been set aside from federal relief money granted to the state, is designed to help both families and facilities.

*Tuition assistance for families not eligible for the above subsidies, whose household income is below $75,000 per year.
