Facilitated Enrollment
For a number of years, New York has
funded “Facilitated Enrollment” programs in selected areas of the state which
allow families to apply for child care in locations other than the local social
services office. These programs often
have eligibility levels that are higher than 200% of poverty. Here you will find information about these
programs.
