"The child-care industry will need $9.6 billion per month in federal assistance to prevent providers from being forced to permanently shut down, according to an analysis by the Center for Law and Social Policy and the National Women’s Law Center."
Rebecca Ullrich was quoted throughout this article: “If child care does not survive the crisis, there will be no going back to work… because people need child care to go to work.”
A CLASP fact sheet was referenced in this article: “'The loans aren’t designed to meet the needs and realities of child-care providers and simply cannot be the solution for the field,' says the Center for Law and Social Policy."
"A national push by child care advocates asks for $50 billion to help providers make it through the pandemic, arguing child care is a vital economic necessity. A report by the Center for Law and Social Policy suggests Washington should be allocated more than $830 million."
Rebecca Ullrich was quoted about a request for $50 billion in emergency funding for child care: “Our estimates show that $50 billion is actually far less than what the system needs if the crisis lasts longer than a few months."
"New research from the Center for Law and Social Policy and National Women's Law Center shows it will take at least $9.6 billion a month to both ensure care is available for frontline providers today and that we have a system to come back to tomorrow."
