U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced new steps to lower the cost of childcare for American families with a proposal that would cap co-payments under a block grant program that serves 1.5 million children and their families each month.
"This is a critical issue for almost every family in our country," Harris told reporters. "Low-income families often spend one-third, one-third of their yearly income on childcare, more than they spend on their rent or mortgage."
The program subsidizes child care for families with income below 85% of their state's median income level, but requires most to pay a small co-payment. The proposal would also ensure that childcare providers participating in the program are paid on time, based on program enrollment instead of attendance, the White House said.
