Abstract:
The Bush Administration projects that under its child care block grant funding proposals the number of children who would receive child care subsidies will fall by 200,000 by 2007. This document argues that this 200,000 figure is likely to understate by a substantial amount the decline in the number of children who would receive child care subsidies because the Administrations projections are based on overly optimistic assumptions about the level of both state resources and federal TANF resources that states will devote to child care over the next five years.
