Over 5,000 children in Ward 8 do not have access to child care, leaving many families unemployed. Dozens of child care centers have closed in the past year, putting hundreds out of work. Children with special needs remain underserved due to budget cuts of $30 million from the child care subsidy budget. A pre-meeting will be held before the Mayor's Town Hall to plan making child care a top issue.
