The Child Care Workforce Act establishes a pilot program to significantly increase the supply and quality of child care services across the nation. This program will provide competitive grants to States, Indian Tribes, and Tribal organizations , enabling them to implement or strengthen initiatives that supplement the wages of eligible child care workers. The core purpose is to attract and retain skilled child care professionals, improve their overall well-being, enhance the quality of care provided, and ultimately increase the availability of affordable child care services for families. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will award these grants, considering factors such as the number of young children, existing child care workers, average wages, and the need for additional workers in applicant areas. To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate a significant need for increased workers and wages, commit to supplementing low-wage workers, and submit a detailed plan for wage distribution that prioritizes high-need areas. Grant funds are primarily for wage supplements, disbursed at least quarterly, with up to 10 percent allowed for administrative costs, financial counseling, and public awareness campaigns. The Secretary is also mandated to evaluate the program's effectiveness in achieving its goals and report the findings to Congress within two years of implementation.
