Overview
This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) to create a program offering financial incentives to encourage private investment in child care facilities located in ‘child care deserts’ – areas with more demand for childcare than available supply. The DHS will work with several state agencies to develop these incentives, which could include tax credits, exemptions, loan guarantees, and assistance with staffing. The goal is to increase the availability of quality childcare, particularly in underserved communities, and to ensure continued federal funding for childcare programs.
