No stakeholder receiving Department of Human Services (DHS) funds should
miss this opportunity!
The DHS Budget Listening Session provides stakeholders with a chance to tell state leaders what children in the Garden State need as they plan the FY 2020-2021 budget. There have been recent state laws and policies affecting programs, staff, families and children and your insight is invaluable. Let DHS know about: - The impact that the increase in the minimum wage is having on programs, staff and family eligibility and the need for additional subsidy funding to offset the wage increases
- The impact that preschool expansion is having on child care enrollment
- The role that increased funding for family child care can play to address infant/toddler child care deserts
