Application Period Open for Work Force Support Grant 2.0

To continue to assist DHS-certified child care providers in addressing the ongoing workforce crisis, the Work Force Support Grant 2.0 is now available.

About Work Force Support Grant 2.0

While the Work Force Support Grant 2.0 is similar to the previous Work Force Support Grant released in May 2022, there are some areas that are significantly different.

Funds through the Work Force Support Grants are being provided to support the work of ongoing staff in centers, as well as assisting providers with staff recruitment.

Applications for the Work Force Support Grant 2.0 are now open and will be accepted through December 6, 2022. Funding is limited. Funds will be made available on a first come-first serve basis to providers who submit complete and accurate applications.
