Support for middle income parents and caregivers

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

Middle income people are struggling to provide care to their children and do not qualify for assistance. They also don't have money to cover expenses out of pocket (not wealthy enough).

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Middle income people are often not eligible or have to pay a high cost for childcare. They fall between the cracks.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Provide vouchers and or increase income eligibility so that middle income people don't get squeezed.

Who would that help?

middle income people and their children.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Bronx
