We know you can't take a job if there's nobody to watch your kids. And you can't take a night shift if there's no afterschool program. This initiative removes the caregiving barriers standing in your way.
The Challenge
71% of residents with children in ZIP codes 00923 and 00924 say the lack of afterschool and childcare services is a significant barrier to employment. 29% of the population can't transition to full-time work because of care costs. For eldercare, waiting lists are long and existing centers have limited capacity. Despite subsidies like care vouchers, their use remains limited due to lack of awareness, bureaucratic processes, and insufficient supply of certified providers.
