JFAC reviews federal funding requests for childcare, disease prevention
BOISE — Idaho Department of Health and Welfare came before the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee on Tuesday with requests to continue federal funding for early childhood services and disease prevention programs.
The department’s discussion on early learning services centered around the Idaho Child Care Program, which serves families with children under 13 or children over 13 with a disability. ICCP pays for a portion of childcare for these families and has recently used funding from the 2022 American Rescue Plan Act to expand the program's support for families — funding that is due to expire in 2027.
