Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey is allocating $500,000 from CARES Act funding to go toward out-of-school child care to help extend hours and create better programs as the demand for child care increases with students being home from school.
“Arizona kids need a safe and secure environment while they learn remotely and parents go to work,” Ducey told White Mountain Independent. “The organizations receiving this funding will ensure families have access to child care and students can continue to learn and safely engage with others. My thanks to everyone working to support Arizona kids and families and to those who have generously donated to the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund.”
Ten child care organizations in Arizona will be receiving funding: Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley, Tucson, Casa Grande, Central Arizona, Flagstaff, Round Valley and Bisbee, the CLUB for YOUth Kingman, Cobre Valley Youth Club and Patagonia Youth Enrichment Center, according to White Mountain Independent.
Ducey's AZ Coronavirus Fund is providing financial aid to nonprofit organizations in the state that require help during this time, which has collected over $8.2 million, White Mountain Independent reported.
