Home Grown appreciates the work of the Biden-Harris Administration to revise the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) State/Territory Plan Preprint in support of greater access to high quality child care for children and families participating in CCDF.

The information collected in the CCDF State Plans is vital for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, and the data helps us all to pursue an equitable child care system. Thank you for considering our August 2023 recommendations and for the opportunity to work with you to further strengthen the Preprint.
