South Carolina child care vouchers run out, leaving families priced out
Original: Child care is unaffordable to thousands across SC as federally supplemented vouchers run out
Thousands of South Carolina families are losing access to child care as federally supplemented vouchers are exhausted, leaving many unable to afford care costs on their own. The Post and Courier reports that with the subsidy funds spent, parents may have to reduce work hours or leave jobs entirely, while providers worry about falling enrollment. Advocates are calling attention to the widening gap between wages and child care prices across the state.
Why now: Federal child care subsidy funds have run out, directly affecting thousands of working families in South Carolina.
