Child care–related matters can and often do affect the daily routine of parents in the workplace. Finding a way to pay for child care so that parents can keep their jobs or train for better jobs is a constant challenge for many working families. That’s why Workforce Solutions helps eligible working families pay for child care.

As one of its many employment services, Workforce Solutions provides financial assistance for child care to more than 12,000 working families in the 13-county Gulf Coast area every day. Funds to pay for this assistance, however, are limited, so at times families that apply may be put on a waiting list for a period of time.
