Travis County families struggling with the rising cost of child care may soon get some relief.
This week, county leaders announced the first phase of funding of $35 million from Prop A, a tax rate increase approved by voters last November that expands access to affordable child care in Travis County.
“We will mark this time in history as the turning point for 9,000 families who couldn’t otherwise afford quality child care for their children,” Travis County Commissioner Brigid Shea (Precinct 2).
