Ending Early Childhood Homelessness — Starts with Policies that Make a Difference
Ensuring the early learning and development of our country’s youngest children is essential to Early Years’ work. Supporting the well-being of these young children and their families is an urgent task and one that is critical to improving the long-term educational outcomes of children nationwide.
Access to high-quality child care is a key work support for parents. It also helps support healthy child development, which is important for all children, but of critical importance to young children in families experiencing homelessness.
Early Years reviewed the FY2022-2024 Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) State Plans to see policies and strategies across states to better support the needs of families with young children experiencing homelessness.
