Announcement

Limited reopening of the Child Care Assistance Program application

The Department of Human Services will start the process of reopening the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) for a limited number of slots, with the goal of allowing applications for new children in January.

The opportunity to apply will be first issued to families who fall into the program's priority groups and who complete a registration form starting in December. Priority groups include families with children experiencing homelessness, children with special needs, and children from households with very low incomes.

Due to limited funding, not all applicants who fall into a priority group and who are invited to apply may be granted assistance. You can sign up to receive a notification email or text when the registration form is available — contact us at (201) 451-8888.
