What is ACS Voucher?

ACS provides resources to help parents with their child care needs. For qualifying families, child care programs provide free or low-cost child care for children 6 weeks to 13 years old (or to 19 years old for children with disabilities). Child care vouchers help cover the cost of child care at hundreds of home-based and center-based providers across the city.

Who Can Apply for a Child Care Voucher?

Your family may qualify for child care assistance if your family's income falls below 85% of the State Median Income and you have an approved reason for seeking child care ("reason for care"). This reason must be at least one of the following:

You work 10+ hours per week
You are in an educational or vocational training program
You have been looking for work
You live in temporary housing (priority access)
You are attending services for domestic violence
You are receiving treatment for substance abuse

Eligibility is based on your family size, residency, income, and reason for care. It is verified using the documentation you submit with your application.
