Caregiving Resources

CHILDCARE, EDUCATION, AND HEALTHY ACTIVITIES

CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
You and your family can access this program if you are working and/or attending school and are at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. If you meet these prerequisites, you may qualify for subsidized child care. The amount varies depending on various factors, such as location, age of the child, and type of child care requested by the family.

MCKINNEY VENTO PROGRAM
This Albuquerque Public School program was created to help families by providing enrollment assistance and acquiring school supplies and uniforms. It also helps parents and students find after-school tutoring, preschool and parental support programs, and summer reading and math programs. If you are experiencing homelessness, whether temporary or long-term, this program can help you with referrals to Health Care for the Homeless and obtaining access to the APS Clothing Bank.

TITLE I
Depending on the percentage of economically disadvantaged people at a school, the school might qualify for Title I advantages. If your or your child’s school has Title 1 benefits, you can see how they allocate the funds and use your voice to change what you think needs to be changed. These funds are most commonly used to improve the curriculum, improve facilities, and hire more staff.

YMCA
The YMCA has a program that, if qualified, will grant financial assistance for participation in its programs.
